Great achievement; have enough pixels to take a trim of the bird close up from image 3?

John,
Thanks for viewing & commenting. My last visit to UK, I photographed some nice seagulls at Beachy Head & Eastbourne.

Hi Leslie,

Just to say that I think you've done a wonderful job of capturing this beautiful little bird in flight in #2 and #3. Nice lighting on the bird, great focus, and lovely detail.

I expect that they are very challenging to photograph (tiny, fast flying) and to capture all this action in a nesting scenario with a very busy background. If you could find a position/another nest where the background is just a little less busy it would likely be far easier.

Leslie...I've only heard about this bird but never seen one...even when we visit Singapore...guess the food street market is more interesting and causes a distraction than looking for birds... Good shots especially #2...
