[Leica] Swallow Airshow

[Sonny Carter]

Thanks,  there’s a flock of maybe two dozen swallows nesting nearby, and
we’re across the road from a hayfield, so the two story buildings provide a
flyway for the birds and their insect targets.

I was trying with a 70-200 and was fortunate to capture that bird as she/he
was stopping a moment on a roof.

Catching them in flight are about the most difficult photos I’ve ever
attempted.
