Bob, these are amazing captures of three completely different aspects of the swallow.  The kingfisher-like blue color on its upper body is beautiful.

The first and the third images look a wee bit oversharpened to my eyes and taste, but the crispness is stunning anyway.

Indeed wonderful images, we have grown accustomed to from your hands Bob.
Swallows they are indicators for weather changes.
Off the record, my anticipating guess is that the d5 sensor will land in a Df successor.
