Just a short post tonight. The first two shots were taken this morning just outside Eastbourne. It's a fair sized flock of swifts high over water at Seven Sisters Country Park.
That was the high. This is the low (as in 'ground level'). Yes, it's raining again!
Camera note: swift shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. Fox cubs taken with the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.

18 May 2013Darko, they soon stop worrying about the rain. It's better than last year though. We are enjoying some dry days. Honestly!

18 May 2013That's a fair number of swifts. I'm usually distracted by the sandwich-demanding gulls when I'm in Eastbourne. Two of my colleagues actually had food snatched out of their hand recently!

18 May 2013Swifts always remind me of fighter aircraft … they are real natural ærial acrobats.

21 May 2013dW, the swifts are extraordinary in flight. It's no surprise that aircraft designers still try to figure out their wing shape/movement.

21 May 2013Adele, herring gulls do like a stolen sandwich! I always take care not to eat around them.
