Fledgling Swallow and parent feeding.

Waited for a while to get these shots, but was worth the wait.

First is the youngster calling to its parent, second the feeding, third parent leaving.

Regards the 'feeding' images Rolf, quite impressed with them, well done.

And what about the aerobatics of the adult bird feeding its offspring on the wing......Nature wows me a thousand times a year!

Yes, the aerial agility of the adults is something to see.

The youngsters have been spending the last few days flying in and out of every available opening on the adjoining barns, plus a couple of times yesterday morning, sorties into the house itself.

Merlin Regular Member Info Real name: Pete Location: N W England Gallery: 5 Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
