Currently we have a nest of swallows I am following. Some pictues from today (5th June).
New pictures 6th June - the red under their chins is much stornger in just one day
The swallows are now learning to fly. The pictures show them out of the nest and balancing, then they start to fly. Sometimes they perch for a rest and todays (june 14) lesson seems to be stopping to pick something up and flying off with it!!! They are getting wise to the camera now though and do not land when I'm about!!
If you click on the picture below you can download half an hour of footage of the swallows feeding the young in the nest. It is a large file and will take time to download.
