Swallows rock caught up in the mountains in Turkey. Unfortunately, as it is sometimes swallows, their rapid flight and a small silhouette provide technical barrier to the implementation of a satisfactory picture. So I waited, and I made pictures of swallows resting on windowsills window. Photos are documentation and not likely to in the future, it was different. All galleries swallows on my website, so far, is of such nature. Maybe would appear to be time and opportunity to make a deviation from this shameful tradition ...

The pictures of Eurasian crag martins were taken in Andorra. The trekking escapade to photograph western capercaillie was arduous and I didn’t have enough determination and time to take some better, more interesting and dynamic photos of Eurasian crag martins.

It was the third contact with these birds and again it made me improve the quality of the pictures in this gallery. To take good dynamic photos I would need a shorter lens. The birds were sometimes really close. But baggage restrictions of airlines allow taking only one long lens and my 300mm lens, which would be perfect here, remained in Poland.
