Description
This little Juvenile Swallow made it a little easier to capture in flight by the fact he's still learning and is not quite as fast and agile as his parentsRelated content

I wondered how you were able to get such a good snapshot
I always loved their little tiny beaks. It's a wonder anything will fit inside!

Wow! Even if it's still young and "slow" ... great shot!
Would you mind if I used this as reference for an ACEO drawing of my current Fairy Warrior series?

Most of the time I don't know what the words Give Up mean!! I get discouraged at times but I just bounce back very quickly and keep trying. I just wish I had the free time I used to have to get out and capture some neat pictures.

Giving up is not in my vocabulary!! Like you, finding the free time these days is hard to do. I squeeze a little time in when I can. I have too many people asking me to do things for them and then I don't have any time for me. But that is life I guess. I really enjoy your pictures. You do such a great job and find the most incredible subjects.

We've got a lot of swallows nesting on the walls of our house... sometimes they are annoying but it's said that where Swallows are, there's a lot of good luck in the house...
and automatically

Beautiful capture Dave
I love the composition and the perfectly clear sky. I love the detail in the wings, and as you know, my 'thing' is how birds carry their feet in flight, so, I love it

Cheers!!!!!! as you know im pretty hooked on the flight shots and i went to the farm for a wander round and couldn't help trying to capture them. these are great for getting fluid with the camera, focus and panning.

I always loved the shape of the swallow, the tail, but especially the wings. It's so deffinate and unique.
