A FAMILIAR MIGRANT VISITOR, that can be recognized in flight by its pointed wings and in the adult long tail streamers. But to photograph one is the problem as the adults rarely perch, and then it's on roadside wires, so this had to be taken on something natural !!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT AND FRIENDSHIP, hope you all have a great weekend, God bless............... Tomx

A little more of bird porn. amorous barn swallows in the early morning light at Heinz National Wildlife Refuge.
It seems that for the past day or so, e-mail notifications from Flickr are not reaching me. I rely on them to keep track of who I need to reply to. So if I do not respond to your visit, I apologize in advance and hope Flickr gets its act together quickly.
A bit of a big crop but I liked the pose.
At White Lake, the bluebirds share airspace with other types of birds and this morning there were plenty of tree swallows circling about. While the bluebirds were off gathering supplies the tree swallows would visit.
Swallows symbolize anything from good luck, safe travels, happiness, and positivity. They are very social and people-friendly.
Swallow - Hirundo Rustica
The swallow, or 'barn swallow', is a common summer visitor, arriving in April and leaving in October. It builds mud and straw nests on ledges, often in farm buildings and outhouses, or under the eaves of houses. Swallows are widespread and common birds of farmland and open pasture near water. They are agile fliers, feeding on flying insects while on the wing. Before they migrate back to their wintering grounds in Africa, they can be seen gathering to roost in wetlands, particularly reedbeds.
The swallow is a glossy, dark blue-black above and white below, with a dark red forehead and throat, and a black band across its chest. It has a very long, forked tail. Often spotted perching on wires in small numbers.

Until the 19th century, people thought that the swallow hibernated over winter. Of course, we now know that it migrates to South Africa from the UK, undertaking a perilous journey, during which it is vulnerable to starvation and stormy weather.

Thank you for having a look at my images.
Swallows found at Lake Victoria in Shepparton Australia, and urban wetland that is quite a hot spot for bird and animals. It has a tar or bitumen footpath walk that surrounds it, and makes it a very pleasant walk.

While working on shooting swallow flights, this one landed right in front of me at Koll business center. Closest I've been to one of these violet green swallows.

🎧 The Aural Inspiration *Ashton Nyte - This Isolation- * 🎧
Do your worst to hate
As you follow their goodbyes
Drift into the morning
Where the feeling never tires
Dressing in the cold
And you're fading like a smile
Swallow your confessions
As you cover up your eyes
Again
A broken promise
That old sensation
Keeps haunting you
Whenever you're alone
Standing at the edge
But the story never ends
Tearing out the pages
But it's useless to pretend
I turn on the radio
And hold your heart to mine
Dry those eyes and keep me close
The world can wait outside
Again
And you sent for this
This isolation

Our butterfly garden is attracting several Swallow Tails. They are big and at times I mistake them for a Goldfinch ;D
My hat is off to all my butterfly photographing friends. Dang, this is difficult even with a big lens - yikes!
