Visual Migration

Looks like the Swallows are gathering to return to Sub- Saharan Africa. At Kenidjack today their were thousands, circling in a column above the cliff tops and gradually disappearimg out to sea. Some were feeding voraciously over the cliff tops. If they have chosen to move out today it may be a big mistake with the impending weather systems moving in from the Atlantic.

    That first photo is fabulous! What camera were you using?? What Lens? You always get such beautiful "in flight" shots.

    Great shots Sam. Love the first one. I've not seen a Swallow today and our nesting Swifts have been gone a while now. I saw 2 House Martins above the garden yesterday and I suspect they were the last for my garden this year. Lets hope they all have a safe, successful journey.

    Wow amazing Swallow photos. The 1st one especially. They can be such difficult birds to photograph flying.
