Sand Martins

A few Sand Martins were flying low over the water this morning, along with some Swifts, and the sun was behind me so I decided to have a go at some flight shots.  Unfortunately the Swifts moved away but I spent a little time waiting for the Sand Martins to fly by and managed to get some reasonable photos.  I went back at lunchtime to have another go, but with rather more limited success.
