DescriptionIn-Flight Grace (51666202910).jpg |
Captured this Swallow flying across a lagoon in the early morning. I was going to discard this as the light is far too harsh but I like the graceful form so decided to share it. Trying to photograph these birds in flight is more fun than clay skeet shooting... Welcome swallows are small fast-flying birds found in open country particularly around lakes, coasts, riverbeds and ponds. Their flight is circular and darting in style, and they may be seen singly, in pairs or in flocks. Flocks often perch en masse, lined up on fences or power lines. They were named ‘welcome swallows’ because they appeared in southern Australia as a herald of spring. Due to their elegant shape and flight, and their preference for nesting around buildings, swallows are noticed and appreciated more than most other small birds. <a href="https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/welcome-swallow" rel="noreferrer nofollow">nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/welcome-swallow</a> |
