Swallows are active birds, known for quickly sweeping and darting from place to place. Catching them during a quiet moment can be just as challenging as trying to photograph them when flying.

Violet-green Swallows have been recorded flying at 28 miles per hour—a pretty respectable speed considering that the Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird of prey, averages about 25–35 miles per hour in traveling flight. ~ All About Birds
