House Swallows

A very common bird here in Malaysia. Being so common, they are usually ignored by photographers but I find them quite attractive and quite easy to photograph due to their preference for perch in the open area.

When other birds fail to show up, these swallows make good company for me…

They have the habit of coming back to the same perch over and over again. All the photos were shot over a period of more than an hour when the same bird keep returning to the same perch………

  2. We have the same problem here Ari with common birds often being ignored in favour of so called "good" birds. You showed that the common birds often make as good if not better pictures even if they are not as "exciting".
