Dag Paul.
Die ziet er moe uit maar je ziet ze dan ook bijna alleen maar vliegen. Des te knapper dat je deze op zo'n mooie manier op de foto hebt weten te zetten.

Hi Paul,

This is so nice, swallows are just the most beautiful birds. It doesn't cease to amaze me how far they fly. I like the note. Well done.

Hi Paul

He does look very sleepy. Nicely captured with clear sharp detail around the head. Nice work. :-)
