Swift fly past our house continuously in summer. They have nests near a gutter. Capturing these special birds is a challenge in itself, I think. In the evening, when the light is no longer so abundant, they skim through the air and catch insects. Especially if there are nests not far away, they make circles and constantly call to each other in the area. When you consider that these eternal fliers do not fly except for incubating their nests, it is quite extraordinary. So during their long gliding flights, such'a bird does almost everything in the air like eating drinking sleeping and so on. I can watch them in fascination for hours. With the camera set up, I am always trying to capture what is special. In the series 'art of flight' I could catch it flying in front of the moon. If I could fly like that and would at most get a fly in my eye than in my mouth. Birds can see correct and eat with ease.
