    These a re Swallow chicks . There are I think four in the nest.
    I choose not to disclose the exsact location. They were in the Exmouth area and I was given full permition to enter the property and take the photos . I was well back ant the parents were in no way disterssed.
    As you will see I will be uploading a video to show you the mother actually feeding the chics.

    WONDERFUL !! I love their fuzzy barnets

    What a lovely shot - I look forward to seeing the video. The shots are wonderfully clear and give a good view and an interesting angle The way their stubby little feathers reflect the light they look like mini starlings. But goodness - what mouths they have ("all the better to eat you with my dear!")

    Thanks I was very pleased. I had to get there early . I was there just after 8.30. The owner had to get on with daily life so to speak . I feel so lucky . But then he knows me.
    The video is uploaded noe. Sorry about the sound track . Has a bit of conversation but to mute i it loses the chicks shirping.
