Photographing Sand Martins is NOT as Easy as You Think!

This is a video that I have wanted to make for a number of years but the location relies so much on conditions that these never materialised! But finally in 2025 I have near perfect conditions, well nearly perfect! Surely one of the most difficult bird species to photograph but I love a challenge! Follow along to see how I got on!
