It's still a Swift in flight ;) (Apus apus)

I know it's not great, but it's the first I've got with an eye showing. I usually just get bits of these, or even more blurred than this. Actually, I more often end up with shots of clear sky ;)

Anyway; not easy these, especially with a Superzoom camera

Guy, after spending weeks trying to get a decent image of these super speed demons, I would be ecstatic with this image. Nicely captured Chris.
