Himalayas - 635 (Hirundo rustica)

Amazing level
of skill ...
... commitment
organization and
diligence ...

He had picked up
two long sticks ...
... but did not
leave ... pushed
them to the back
part of his bill
... then proceeded
to roll up a wet
mud pellet ...
... to mop up
the shopping list
for making that
beautifully designed
and crafted
nest ...
... to welcome
a new generation
to the world ...

Mud and straw makes for a good strong nest but the decision to transport both at the same time is questionable (lol). Great behavioral pictures Alok & Renu!
