Wire-tailed Swallow
===============

She gave me tough time to capture it in flight. Was very hard to keep her in frame and focus it. Following very arbitrary path, which has added lots of complexity. Finally got her correct. This image is straight from the camera no editing. Cropped it for close up. Hand held shooting... . Happy to have her in collection. What do you say? Please feel free to sha...re it.

Greater Flamingo (Juvenile)

The Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) is the most widespread species of the flamingo family. It is found in parts of Africa, southern Asia (coastal regions of Pakistan and India), and southern Europe (including Spain, Albania, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Italy and the Camargue region of France). Some populations are short distance migrants, and sightings north of the breeding range are relatively frequent; however, given the species' popularity in captivity, whether or not these are truly wild individuals is a matter of some debate. ~Wikipedia
