Final Swift Report of the Year??

 It takes patience to get good wildlife photographs so they say, but nothing can beat a bit of good luck.  I set myself up to try for some more pictures of the swiftlets peeping out of their box today, and as I was watching and photographing I could see that the "pushy one" was sticking its head further out of the box than usual.  After a while, to my amazement it launched itself on its first flight - ever!
And the gods of photography smiled on me.  Not only was I in the right place at the right time to get these and a few more, but my camera seemed to be set properly.
I've checked a few times, I think the other one might have gone as well...
