    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.
