The Chick Story

The swallow chicks are now outside a lot of the time. It is not unusual to see them balancing on the wire outside my kitchen window. They prove to be quite a distraction as I am forever popping out to try and get a photo of them or just watch them.

They are not easy to photograph without bleaching out the blue sky behind.

I certainly don't need to worry about a photograph for Birds on a Wire for Rindas photography scavenger hunt! The days are beginning to get chillier even though it is mid August and the swallows collecting each day on the line is a reminder that Autumn won't be long.

However for now when night comes the swallow chicks still return for a cosy kip back in the nest.
