Got this one about two weeks ago with my old equipment. Saw a group of young Fairy Martins standing on a low perch waiting to be fed. Managed to get close enough, focused on the one with the best light and waited. It didn't take long before one of the parents came, I got two shots and that was it. Minutes later they all disappeared, leaving me very happy.... :D

I'd be tickled with this one. It's a super behavioral shot. I've seen shots with the parents feeding their young...but never one with the parent in the air feeding. Great capture!!!!

Beautiful, Ofer, and you have them on a great perch instead of a wire or fence. Well done.

Absolutely fantastic! Nice and sharp capture with great detail in the plumage and a solid blue background. With interesting behaviour to boot! Well done!
