 boy ,o boy, russianbear, I love No 4, the expression on the face is amazing. Now, you are not telling me, you took these with your old Olympus? What camera/lens do you use now? 

It is one of my dreams to take great in flight shots like these, one day? These birds are sooo fast in the air, great work!

Wow these are great. I am so impressed - I've tried to track and photograph these birds and they are soooo fast!

Brilliant russianbear I too have an Oly and the same lenses as you but I can't imagine me getting this quality, your technique is great.

Awesome photos - great work getting such sharp shots of a bird that's both small and fast-moving. Impressive, and I'm jealous! You've inspired me to try again with them, thanks :)

Cheers,

Scott.

These photos are really something. I too love No 4, but No 1 ain't half bad.  Ozi
