SWALLOWS

Back to Birds...

It was a delight to watch some adult Swallows feeding their young one evening as I walked along the river. My attention was drawn to them when I spotted this adult (right, with the longer tail) food passing to the juvenile, whilst on the wing.

All the fledglings opened their beaks in anticipation, whenever an adult was flying near.

The Swallows fly swiftly in and out to feed their young with fantastic precision!

Swallow are very speedy when they're flying, which makes it incredibly difficult to capture them during flight and takes not only a lot of practice, but also a lot of luck!
