DIY (Hirundo rustica)

A Swallow with a beak full of nesting material on Monday. It looks like cleaner work than collecting the mud. According to 'Springwatch' last night a lot of these birds delayed their migration last month, because of the persistent northerly winds. It looks as if this one is making up for lost time. Ron
