At last I can see the little baby swallows, they hatched over the weekend and this is the first time they have put their heads above the edge. They are so high up on the wall that I can’t get to see inside the nest but I think there are only two chicks in there and I have only found a couple of egg shells.The new camera is really doing its stuff here as this was very low light photography.
The nest is sited high up on the right of this picture under the ledge.

Oh, how sweet they are and you have named them. When they get ready to fledge sometimes they leave the nest and stay on the ground for a while, so then you may have to pick them up and put them outside for the parents who will still feed them.
I probably shouldn’t have named them…oh well it is done now. So let me get this right they might fall out of the nest and I have to pick them up and put them back in the nest?
I have attached another photo of the surrounding area to the nest, as you can see there is not much room for maneuver and if even one of the adult birds were to find themselves on the ground they would never get airborne again.
