Nosy Parkers

Early summer we witnessed from our sitting room window an awful lot of activity from some birds. At closer inspection I was absolutely delighted that a swallow couple had chosen our house to build their own little 'lean-to'.  

Over the last few weeks we could see flocks of them, sky high, soaring at a much lower altitude  and almost falling out of the sky. It is an acrobatic spectacle I gladly witness from the kitchen windows. 

They are very hard to capture on camera when in full flight.

Sky high. You might need a magnifying glass and look at the tiny black specks. Best noticeable where the cloud is.

And some days they are peeking  through the skylight in the kitchen. Or is it me, peeking through the skylight, observing them ?

Soon, they will leave us for warmer climes and we will have to wait till next year when they make this place their summer retreat once more.

Thank you for stopping by.
