For a moment they decided to stay put the bare branches standing in the water; some distance away though. Didn't have my tele-conversion lens back then. This was before leaving the
Mudgee birding camp, inland N.S.W., way back in May.
Then early September, a chance to see swallows again, this time in a rural garden setting at Warren, inland N.S.W.
cooling off, on the shady side of a rustic birdhouse.
It was too quaint not to include the full picture.
i love them sitting along the branches - almost like nature's perfect christmas tree ornaments. :)
ReplyDeleteThe one with all the swallows on the branches reminds me of Japanese art -- just very spare and very beautiful! I love it...we see swallows often, but they're very hard to snap, as they flit so quickly...excellent job all around!
ReplyDeleteThe shots on the tree are super. Hard to get birds still. I love their tails.
ReplyDeleteDon't see many swallows these days, wonderful they are still around. Lovely photos.

Wonderful swallows - they are such a good bird to watch.

Great picture of the swallows, here they left for Africa in September for the winter to stay there, in April they come back.
