At last

A number of swallows have been delighting us for the past few weeks with their swooping and diving and their twittering. They are nest building near the studio. It used to be a stable and, as far as they are concerned, we are the intruders. They seem tolerant of the inevitable disturbance as we go back and forth.

I have been determined to get a blip for some time while minimising the disturbance caused. Staying still is not natural for them and their nest is a dark place.

As usual I had a wee look in as I passed this evening. One of them was waiting with some nesting material in its beak. You'd better be quick, it seemed to be saying.
