A pair of young barn swallows getting some food from the mother.

The Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) is the most widespread species of swallow in the world. A distinctive passerine bird with blue upperparts, a long, deeply forked tail and curved, pointed wings, it is found in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. In Anglophone Europe it is just called the Swallow; in Northern Europe it is the only common species called a "swallow" rather than a "martin"

Hi Doug.
You managed to capture an amazing scene. Superb timing. DOF and details of the main subject – attractive swallow family, – are great. Bravo and kind regards.

Outstanding action shot! These little barn swallows have a lot of character and you captured it well. The composition is excellent. Appears you were working with some very bright light conditions, but you made a noble effort of toning down the over-exposed areas. The DOF is very good.
