Friendly Banter - Barn Swallows - Hirundo rustica
I've really been enjoying myself photographing these lovely, local Barn Swallows. These two were just having some friendly playful banter with each other I think, before flying off insect catching together. It's easy to see how the Swallowtail Butterfly gets its name from this shot. I was disappointed not to able to see the eye of the bird on the right, but we can't have everything!
It was good to hear about the Swallow on BBC Springwatch last night, that had been identified from a ring as it nested at Ken Hill farm here in Norfolk, as being ringed near Thornham, Norfolk back in 2016 I think and was now here on a nest agin. Incredible - the average life span apparently is only 2 years, so as that little fellow had been making the journey back and forth to and from Africa for 5 years is an amazing story. Long may it continue!
Many thanks to all those who view, fave and/or comment on some of my images.
