The Welcome Swallow (Hirundo neoxena)
This pair was caught on the beach at Cairns, Queensland, Australia.
I am unsure if this beak open display is parental, territorial or play, but the 1/500s exposure has allowed a nice level of wing motion blur on the 400mm end of my canon 100-400mm L
This is one of those shots you could not have planned and the timing of the incoming flying bird (these guys are super fast!) with his full head and wing in the shot, and being on the same focal plane were perfect- we all deserve to get lucky once in a while :0)
The background is the sand of the beach and the perch was a rubber structure but what exactly it was I have no idea!

Great photograph of a pair of Swallows interacting with some hostility/territoriality, with wonderful colors, details, and perspective! F/L
