Barn Swallow feeding a juvenile.
I met these swallows on a walk through the fields close to my home. I was fortunate to capture a transfer of some delicious freshly caught flies.

Feeding pitlane Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) at 8 frames /second
During our holiday in Luxembourg I saw many swallows flying around. They were really everywhere but I was unable to get a good shot of them in flight. During a walk through the village I heard their noise and looked up. I saw 5 juvenile swallows sitting in the gutter waiting to be fed by one of their parents. This feeding procedure went so fast that I decided to try the High Speed Crop mode in Continuous high of my new D2X. I shot a few bursts and this was the result.
