    Default A visitor came into our office

    I took this photo of this juvenile bird towards the end of July. It came into the office and stood there for quite some time. So I took a picture, and the sound of the camera frightened it and it took off. Is this a swallow??

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Thanks - I have been getting some nice pictures out of this camera - my trick is the "automatic" setting . So more down to luck than anything else.
