Hi, I’m a keen amateur photographer that’s here to share my pics & gain inspiration from others. You’ll see I’m somewhat addicted to photographing birds in flight. Thanks for looking 😊
Just spotted more than half a dozen Swifts circling high overhead. They’re becoming fewer now, so every sighting feels a little more special. #CommonSwift #BirdsInFlight #MigratoryBirds #SaveOurSwifts @hertsbirds.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @btoengland.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social
A Common Swift returns to its nest beneath the eaves of a brick house in Puckeridge, Hertfordshire. The bird is captured in mid-air with its wings raised and tail spread as it approaches the nest entrance, with the softly blurred façade of the historic building in the background.
