Swallow

Hirundo rustica

This doesn't really seem like a good enough shot to repay half an hour on my knees on the damp grass, desperately panning the lens round chasing these guys! I like his expression, though :)

Had to upload this late; as soon as Meles came back from work, she commandeered the desktop to operate a telescope in Mallorca remotely from Leith. How cool was that!

I have been very bad at commenting lately, which made it more shaming when I noticed today that my journal had just passed 100,000 views. Thanks to everyone who has looked in!
