Top Gun is locked on its target!

A barn swallow moves as fast as a fighter jet, but is a lot quieter and can turn much faster in the air. Can you see the little fly that’s in the sights of this aerial acrobat? It’s about to be “swallowed” (sorry 🤣) in about a millisecond! These birds move so fast that the action all happens much more quickly than the human eye can see. It requires a very high shutter speed on the camera and a lot of luck to freeze the moment 📷

Have you ever seen these birds diving into the ocean to catch fish? They are gannets and it’s quite amazing to watch how they suddenly plummet at speed towards the sea once they have locked onto their prey and fold their wings back at the last second to become as streamlined as a rocket so that they enter the water like a dart. They are so streamlined that they barely create a splash - it would be a perfect ten in Olympic diving! I spent some time photographing them the Arcadia at Portrush’s East Strand last week and this is a sequence of one of the dives I captured using a long lens and a very high burst speed. They are quite large birds, with a wingspan of around 6 ft but they were way out to sea and moving very fast, so not the easiest to photograph.

Dial up the cuteness factor to eleven!!
Some photos captured at the pond at Carrickfergus Leisure Centre this afternoon. One pair of ducks had a brood of ten or eleven ducklings, but I’m afraid the little yellow one got most of my attention 🐥 Also got some nice pictures of a moorhen and the bees and black-headed gulls against the yellow irises as well as a decent shot of a swallow in flight - very hard to capture as they move so fast!

Facebook has just randomly restricted me from sharing my posts to other pages (including my own personal page) until 18 August with absolutely no reason given!! What the heck?!! Has anyone else experienced this? And can I do anything about it?

Some images from yesterday’s beautiful walk from Orlock Point to Groomsport and back (~6 miles). The variety of flora and fauna and the vibrant colours on show made this a fabulous journey through nature on a glorious sun filled day. We really are blessed to have such wonderful places on our doorstep! If you’ve never walked this superb coastal path then do yourself a favour and add it to your list 😊
