Clearly mud pays off, it's a lovely shot, the head is superb and the background really compliments the swallow. :toast:

The blurry effect is very effective Ian.

Well caught.

Cheers

Got to be one of my favourite subjects Ian,.There is something very special about the sheen in their plumage,which you have captured beautifully here. Nice one.
