When I was out and about the other week I noticed that Sand Martins were making use of a new cliff formed by last winter’s storm surge. They appeared well lit by the sun as I looked north out to sea.
I went back this last weekend to photograph them as they hung in the wind above the cliff. Photographing small birds in flight is never easy but I resolved to try and at least get a few half decent shots. It was more about studying techniques and methods of getting sharp shots in the changing light rather than composition or the subject but you just can’t help but love these tiny martins.
