These are so cute Lester. I really enjoy these birds. All little ones are cute but the swallows are just adorable and they have such cute personalities. These babies are really young they barely have the start of what will be feathers. I hope you have access to this nest so we can follow their progress too.

Hope you're not falling too far behind in your "to-do" list:) Know I would have trouble getting anything else done if I had this to keep watch over.

Thanks all for commenting, appreciated.

Carol, thank you for your kind words, your own Swallow at nest sequence is so wonderful.

Sorry to say the nest was quite a distance from me, I was able to visit the nest twice and the above was the last time, I expect they have fledged by now. :cry:

Many thanks Peter.
I have been called a lot of things in my time, many unprintable, but never Ian. :lol:

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.
