    Default A Day in the life of a pair of Swallows

    This is a little series of photos I took in Sandarville, Eure et Loire, last spring. They are intriguing to watch as they preen themselves in the sunshine.

    Have added the whole series in a post below now.

    LOL, very good Jimbo.

    Well I'll be off at the end of April to get a second set of pictures, but this time with the big lens and tripod at hand, so will hopefully get some better individual bird images.
