Thanks all.Most of these very special little birds have now left our village and harbour for their long journey to Africa.
Then next year they will return to their same nesting areas again,they really are an incredible species.

A beautiful picture of this gorgeous Barn Swallow. Outstanding angle and pose with a great setting and complimentary background. Superb focus, color, lighting, feather detail, and eye contact. Brilliant Christine!!!
