Swifts and others.......

Swifts, Martins, Hoverflies, Butterflies and Moths from Carnoustie Golf Links, mainly at the small loch on the Buddon Course. I've not been able to, or had the patience to look to hard for ID's for the flies/bees. I have reluctance to Latin after having to do it at school. Yes, I know that's a long time ago, seems like an eternum!

The Swifts won't be around for mush longer so I might go back on Friday with a plan that might give me a better chance of capturing in flight, in focus and sharp, not much to ask!

Swift dropping in for a drink, makes me want to go back and try for the good photo I know is possible
