    Well done Joe, nice to capture one on the ground. Perhaps you could pop the last one in the gallery, as I don't think we have a Sand Martin in there.

    I was lucky Rolf, he/she was collecting nest material and taking it to the sand martin bank and returning to the same area in front of the hide so it was wait and see if I could focus in time.
    I'll post it into the gallery now.

    Another 'wow' shot, there Joe. They do have such weird proportions, though, don't they?
