Swallow

Weather much better than forecast and even got a blue sky into the bargain so camera had to come out of moth balls again !      We have a pair of Swallows which perch on the overhead cable by the courtyard  (just over a week ago the pair landed in the courtyard only I didn't have time to grab the camera before they were off again)  so here's todays piccies …….

Watching the camera ............    he/she put on a display with some stretching exercises .................

S-T-R-E-T-C-H    ………...

Ok.... she's still got the camera clicking so I'll do a few extra exercises   !  ………...

Now for a good preen ……………  !

This one could have been so good and nearly ended up on bad pics instead but I liked the angle the bird was coming at …. almost had to duck ! 

what a pity I didn't get this right but they are so quick and you never know when they are suddenly going to take off   ! 

BYEEE    !! .………………….
