one of 'our' swallows by jantan

one of 'our' swallows

these swallows nest in one of our stables every year. We think of them as 'our' swallows - how dare we?!

Unfortunately they have made their nest on top of one of the light fittings so we can only turn the light on for a few seconds at a time in case we hard boil their eggs or toast their babies.
Yes we dont want toasted eggs thats for sure. Great shot of a lovely bird.

This is lovely - great detail. We have swallows and redstarts nesting. They make a mess but you have to forgive them.

@julieco don't they just!

these nest in the stable where we keep all the tack, food and equipment - there's a very good reason why there is nothing hanging on the hook that is beneath their nest
