swallows

After just sitting outside with a glass of wine watching the sun set and the swallows swooping overhead, what a joy to see your photographs.

Stunning !

Great photos Glen, looks like they will be off pretty soon.

 

Great shot, Glen! Can't get near a single nest this year - I'm dead envious!

 

great pictures and lovely birds!

 

Fabulous pics.Glen as usual........It's suprising how those shabby works of art(nests)hold together.....amazing.

 

they've flown the nest today and I was lucky enough to be around when all 4 of them made the leap!

first this 1 made a leap for it and covered the metre or so to the rafters across from the nest.



a few minutes later and he was off into the big wide world.

then a 2nd had a go, but wasn't quite as sucessful!



it didn't have much choice other than to let go and flap like mad, following its brother or sister into the sky.

the last 2 obviously had a pact to go together



soon enough all 4 chicks and mum and dad were busy scooting around enjoying a bit of sunshine.

 

How wonderful that you were there to see them leave the nest and try out their wings for the first time. Thanks for sharing with us Glen.

 

Good to see all four made it this far.

 

Nice little story in great pictures with a good ending.

 

after lasts years success, 2 birds are back and busy making repairs to the nest, lets hope they have another good year! At last I feel as though summer is here!
