Dün Antakya'daki kırlangıçlardan söz eden mesajımı gönderdikten sonra Moda'daki apartman dairemin balkonuna çıktım ve tam önümde gökyüzünde uçuşan kırlangıçlara bakakaldım! "Sen bizi hâlâ Antakya'da zannet, biz çoktan İstanbul'a geldik!" der gibi, Moda Deniz Klübü'nden Café Kemal'e kadar uzanan bölgede türlü türlü akrobasi hareketleri sergileyerek dönüp duruyorlardı. İçeri koşup fotoğraf makinemi kaptım ve balkondan çekime başladım. Ama kırlangıçın hızına yetişmek mümkün mü? Bir sürü denemeden sonra günün en başarılı karesi olarak ancak yukarıdaki fotoğrafı çekebildim.
Kırlangıçgiller (Hirundinidae) ailesinin en yaygın ve en iyi bilinen üyesi olan Adi Kırlangıç (Hirundo Rustica) Antarktica hariç tüm kıtalarda yaşayan göçmen bir türdür. Kış mevsimini güney yarımkürede, yaz mevsimini kuzey yarımkürede geçirir. Uzun ve ince çatal kuyruğu ile Ev Kırlangıcı ve Ebabil'den rahatça ayırt edilebilen Adi Kırlangıç havada uçan böcekleri yiyerek beslenir.
Yesterday, after I sent my post hereinbelow in which I was talking about the swallows I saw in Antioch, I stepped out on the balcony of my flat in Moda and I found myself staring at the swallows that were flying just in front of me in the sky! They were turning around with various acrobatic movements as if they were trying to tell me “You think we are still in Antioch but we have already come to Istanbul!”. I ran inside, grabbed my camera and started to take their photos from the balcony. But is it possible to catch up their speed? I made many essays and the most successful shot of the day was the one you see hereabove.
The Barn Swallow (Hirundo Rustica) is the most common and best known member of the Hirundinidae family. It lives in all continents except Antarctica and, as a migratory species, it winters in the southern hemisphere and spends the summer in the northern hemisphere. Easily distinguishable from the House Martin and the Swift with its long and thin forked tail, the Barn Swallow is an insectivorous species which is adapted to hunt flying insects.

Nice shot of the Swallow. They are quick moving birds.
YanıtlaSilThat's a great photo - they are so hard to capture in the camera when they are flying.
YanıtlaSilWe have them here, too, but ours aren't back yet. I saw the first of year tree swallows today, so I hope the barn swallows are arriving soon.
Very hard to get a shot of a moving Swallow. i need to get one like your Muge.
YanıtlaSilGreat capture Müge. These are not easy to get. They fly so fast.
