Solstice Sunset with Passing Swallow.

On Saturday 21 December, a video was recorded of the Solstice Sun setting into cloud between 6.21 and 6.26 pm. Near the beginning there are three frames which capture a swallow passing from right to left in front of the setting Sun. One of these is presented in the accompanying full frame view. A looped time-lapse animation has also been prepared which will be posted as a comment if this image is accepted for publication.
