Here i already showed you the singing swallows -
and this is the reason why they were that excited:
it was Feeding Time!


This is a Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) i could
capture feeding its 4 young ones in Athens, not far
from the Acropolis.

Unfortunately the adult was not very cooperative and
did not show me his best side...

The nest was underneath a balcony and a little in the
shade, so the quality is not so good, and i had to use
ISO1600 in order get a short exposure time.

I waited underneath the balcony for about 20 minutes
and was able to take 2 feeding series, until my lovely
wife urged me to move on.


Thanks & have a great sunday! :-)

Wow!!!!!!!!!Great shot!

Hello Thorsten!
Ein großartiges Bild! Erstaunlich, daß es trotz der ganzen Bewegung im Bild so scharf ist. Klasse, wie die Jungen in Reihe sitzen und die Schnäbel aufreißen. Da hat sich das Warten doch gelohnt!
Viele Grüße!
Nina

Super schöner Moment, Thorsten,
da konntest Du aber nahe ran - aber mit "dem" Objektiv ja kein Problem ;-) Danke und liebe Grüße

You're right that the adult wasn't cooperating for this shot - but the kids put on their best show! A great moment to capture this one, well done. Good sharpness and detail, those gaping little beaks are really something!

Well, I wouldn't have thought it was taken at 1600 ISO, Thorsten. Quality is very good. I like the way you captured those four hungry, wide-opened beaks. A pity the parent is in the way a bit, but it's still a good capture. I love seeing those birds. Lots of them in Greece and France even, very few in Belgium alas. People don't like the nests, as the birds do drop an awful lot of s**t ;o)).
