We just LOVE these guys and sit long hours trying to nail them hawking insects or just taking off or landing. Some of these I may have posted before.

Super birds, very nice series Callie, these are on the wish list. When I was in Lamu in northern zkenya there were sone regularly flying over a couple of moored boats, didn’t have a camera with me. Earlier in the season there were several hundred ticked away in the mangrove but a raptor started nesting in the area and displaced them.
