Building materials

Some of the swallows from last year have returned and are busy repairing one nest and starting another. I just love watching them flying with such speed and skill. Taken yesterday.

Catching the sheen on this fast flying fellow is wonderful!

That's wonderful! I can never seem to get a photo of our swallows because they move so fast. I think they are such beautiful birds and their return just fills me with joy each year!

A busy time of the year nest building.

Almost like he's looking in a mirror - what a wonderful reflection.

So much summer :) How lovely to capture one with the reflection of a clear blue sky.

To get a picture of a swallow in the fist place is quite something. But that reflection is quite marvellous. Love this.

Very cool and nice reflection.

Lovely to see :)
I saw my first two swallows of the year a couple of weeks ago, but haven't seen any since!
