Swallows, feeding

I want to continue posting photos as this is, mostly, a photographic blog. These days i'm not doing so much shooting — still, i have a large collection of photographs that need working on and a few i have worked on. These two images i took about four or five years ago when i rented a Canon 100-400mm lens to see how i liked it.

I was walking in a field in the middle of which there was a fenced in area for reasons there were unclear as there was nothing other then more of the same on the inside as there was on the outside. However, i noticed there were a lot of swallows sitting on the fence and other birds buzzing close to them. And there were a lot! As i walked closer i saw that there were young swallows on the fence and adults were feeding them. Wow! how fortunate to have a long lens on my camera. Getting as close as i dare without chasing the birds away -they really were not paying me any attention- i was able to shoot a series of photos of the adults feeding the young and above are two of the better ones.

Clicking on the image will create a nice large photograph to view.
