Barn Swallows at Sunset

I’ve been noticing a lot of barn swallows near the bridge over the canal and found they are particularly active just before sunset. I have been attempting to photograph them in flight which I am finding very difficult due to their speed and erratic flight patterns. Last night was a beautiful night for a golden sunset and to practice bird flight photos. Most of the smoke from the fire has gone but there was just enough to create a very gold sky where the sun went down.
