p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Swallow Trouble at home


Not quite sure what was going on, but there was quite a bit of bickering and squawking going on.
I tried using a tripod this time, but I only have a pan head as its a CF Velbon carmagne 530, which for all the name sounds terrific. Well while trying to track these birds the camera and lens stayed attached to the head, which just seperated itself from the legs, luckily while I had the strap on. Think its time for a new tripod.
Anyway I happened to get a few shots, before that happened.
Every maybe half hour all hell broke loose around the nest, with many birds literally dive bombing the nest. This one was one of the very few that came out fairly sharp. It was hard to get higher shutter speeds as I was tring to stick to ISO 800.

This is an excellent photo Bruce. I'm sorry to learn about your tripod head.

Nice shot. Glad your camera did not take a tumble.
