info

When it comes to photographing swallows, the problem is the same around the whole Word. It unassuming posture, high speed require a miracle to produce a clear shot of this bird. Other typical shots of swallows present them seated on electrical wires. This time I managed to take a few pictures of this new representative of the Hirundinidae family in flight. With its size it resembles the commonly found sparrow, because its weight is about 30 grams, its wingspan is about 30 cm. Of course, it is impossible to mistake these birds in flight.
