Swift hunting for insects. Attenborough NR, Nottinghamshire. DSC_6075.jpg

            I've not been out with the camera for a while, having been il for 4 weeks with a sodium deficiency apparently brought about by a type of blood pressure medication I was taking. Not great at one of the best times of year to be going out with a camera.

I was still around the reserve early evening after a day there, so thought I'd have a play trying to get shots of the Swifts zooming about. Not an ideal situation due to field of view squeezed by trees, but useful learning process.

Thank you for your kind comments and faves
