Summer swallows
Jan. 31st, 2014 06:40 pmEvery night, after dinner, we can sit outside and get a free aerobatics display...

It's bird versus insect and the swallows are hunting in pairs. Can you feel the speed?


Ignoring the battle, a cockatoo flaps off slowly overhead.

Not the best photos (the swallows especially are hard to capture), but I might get a few good ones before summer is out.
