Air Brakes in action (4 shot composite of single bird): Swift, 15-06-2021, Richard Whitson, Cathkin Marsh SWT, Clyde
After many attempts at trying to catch Swifts (Apus apus) hunting over the marsh I managed to catch this sequence from a high speed burst. Once it locks onto its target, the Swift fans its tail feathers and kinks its body (I think to act as an air-brake ?) to slow down to more easily catch its prey, then it powers back to its usual wing and tail profile to look for its next nibble. All over in less than the blink-of-an-eye.
