I had to stop and watch the work of these Swallows, going backwards and forwards with small bits of grass, and mud. The would fly to the mud-hole with the grass, dip it into the waters edge and cover one end with mud then fly off into the distance to add to their nests. Others would just turn up for mud.. very hectic and hard working.

Pete: It's so fun to capture birds putting on a show. Nicely done.
This is a great series!
Hello from Colorado. This is a great series of bird pictures. I bet it was fun to watch.
As usual, you don't disappoint me, Peter. These are a great series of photos.
BTW, Congratulations -- I have passed on the Arte Y Pico blog award to you. Your blog certainly deserves this award.

Smart birds. I like the idea that they build their mud nests out of the weather.
Your photos are great, Peter.
Looks like they really have a system...
Busy little prehistoric creatures, aren't they?
Great photos Pete, keep them coming.
Lovely photos. The swallows were hardworking.
How the ell did you get these? Outstanding shots, of a really speedy bird. Hats off to ya, these are marvellous.
Your photos are wonderful and lively. The sparrow series is great. I just found your site today, and was wondering if you mind if I link to your site from my own?
