Its quite hard to photograph swifts and yesterday, after being invited by the owner of a cottage on the edge of Dartmoor to come and look at the birds using nest boxes under the eaves of his thatched cottage, I went to try and get some good images.  This is definitely a project in progress now because it will be just a matter of time before the conditions are right to get some pictures that I am satisfied with.  They are not called swifts for nothing, they fly incredibly quickly but I could see that once the light is right I will be able to photograph them as they come and go from their nest boxes which are in use now.

While I was waiting last evening I passed the time by photographing the Collared Dove that was using the nearby roof as a vantage point.

A bit of mating aggression was taking place.
