these were D3X, 200mm f/2 f/5.6 1/4000s 800iso (these guys are pretty quick!)

I like the pics but they are too big to be able to judge them on a screen, at least on the 24" imac on my wife's desk!

Could you post small versions, say 800-900 pixels wide here?

have fixed the issue with file size, sorry!!!!

Hi Martin

Swallows are so incredibly fast, these are wonderful, I love the one of the swallow taking a drink, you must be delighted with these shots.....

Lets just say that once i reviewed in camera I was in a hurry to get them onto the computer !! yes, very pleased with them, think I can do better though, am off this weekend to try again, this time taking 300mm f/2.8.
Although its longer, i find the 300mm much easier to handhold for me at least, as the 200 is very "wide" and hard to avoid ouching the focus ring sometimes, which doesnt help!!
