High rise living.....!!

I was out and about on Friday when a friend rang to ask whether I'd seen the nest of swallows at the local shops and that if I wanted to take a few pictures I'd better make it pronto because in his opinion they were about to flee the scene. I called in on the way home to have a look, and was fascinated to see where they'd built their nest and reared their young.. high up on a security box between the bakery and the supermarket the two young swallows peered down at the many people passing in and out of the shops obviously feeling quite safe. They did look very sweet up there and I took a few shots, went home put them down on the computer, not so happy with the lighting, thought I'd nip down and try again, all in the space of about 15 minutes...have to say my friend knew what he was talking about....gone, vamoosed, not a feather in sight, he knows his birds does Bob.....!!
