Baddesley Clinton, a moated medieval house, swallows in the gatehouse, and right on cue, an occupied swallows nest. Not the one in previous years, and I felt this nesting pair were probably first timers, but that is only a wild guess.
The area where the nests are...
The team at Baddesley say the swallows have only been there around a week or so, and quite late in arriving this year.
Settling down and awaiting the next catch to arrive
The doting partner arrives complete with insect
Once happy all is safe, flies up to the nest
Fed and settled, until the next food supply comes in
