My previous post of a Warou (Welcome Swallow, Hirundo neoxena) was at the limit of what I consider acceptable for inclusion on this site. The bird is relatively tiny in the frame.

I said on that post (see below) that they are difficult birds to photograph in flight. I stand by that statement — I got lucky!

I spent over 5 minutes just trying to capture Warou in flight at the Pauatahanui Wildlife Reserve, where around a dozen were wheeling around in front of me.
