Next door have a house martins nest. I have been watching them from my bedroom window. Mum and Dad are constantly fetching flies for them to eat. The work that has gone into the nest is amazing. They make me feel like a rather lazy mother!!
That's great to be able to watch!

It is amazing how hard they work...they get to kick theirs out of the nest way before we do tho!

We used to have barn swallows that built a mud nest in the ceiling of our porch. They returned year after year. But, we had to repaint and they ended up moving somewhere else.......great pic!

That's really very cool. Interesting synchronicity - I just noticed (as in ten minutes ago) that we have a small sparrow's nest on our house. Not really picture material due to location.

@mcdermgl Are we on the same wavelength at the moment :D

It is fun to watch birds build a nest, and teach the babies how to survive in this crazy world. Good catch to spot this one!
