Swallow Chicks In Swallow Nest
Over the past month or so a couple of swallows have been flying in and out of the millhouse. I have been ducking my head as I enter just in case one of the adult swallows is in mid flight!
It took me a while to locate the nest they were making but eventually I saw the nest and then I have been waiting and waiting to see some little beaks peaking over the nest edge.
Yesterday I went into the millhouse and made some bird noises and then saw a couple of beaks appear at the rim of the nest.
I have tried to peer into the nest without disturbing the chicks and the adults feeding the chicks to see how many chicks there are . I think there are at least 3 but could be 4.
I tried to photograph the nest with the flash off but standing on tip toe doesn’t make for a great photo!
Have you seen a swallow’s nest or chicks?
