    Resting place

    Leaving my Patch, we found some Swallows hanging about on the overhead wires. Usually they'd be recent fledglings, but these two both look like adults.

    Guess it had to happen some time!

    Over the years I've made many, many attempts to photograph a fly-by Barn Swallow, with no success whatsoever. I didn't even see any swallows flying about that day, so they weren't on my mind. This picture was taken in an attempt to try and work out what all the distant birds were on the water...

    Two young ones

    On the way up to my patch we pass through a farm (house on one side of the road, barns on the other). So of course there's overhead telephone wires which the Swallows just love to sit on, especially the fledglings waiting to be fed. Though I was actually disappointed, at the end of June, to...

    Barn Swallow

    A fledgling juvenile. The "gape flanges" are the yellow edges to base of the bill. The yellow gape flange and yellow-orange mouth lining stimulate the adult birds to feed their babies. North American breeding birds are the subspecies "H. r. erythrogaster" characterized by their reddish belly...
