I made this picture from my terrace. When I sat on the patio and enjoyed I saw swallows. I felt like swallows were playing or fishing in the air. Swallows are migratory birds that return from southern Africa to our places every spring. They nest in typical nests built of mud and straw underneath, in stables and other similar shelters. Over time, they have adapted to man and today they are indispensable in the countryside. They also play an important role in insect control. Swallows returning from Africa in the spring are exhausted from the long road, and building a nest would make them even more exhausted. Building a nest is very challenging. An average of about 1,300 flights per building material is required per nest. Therefore, the couples return to the same colonies.

Lovely Swallows thanks so much for sharing……..Good shot
Thank you so much,Pamela.
We have Welcome Swallows they are very small birds. Hard to catch in flight and you captured them nicely
I enjoy watching them fly and I have always really liked their shape.
Cool photo!
Thank you, Howard. These birds are really something special especially in flying
What a great shot of these birds. I see them often. My neighbor puts up guord houses for them.
Thank you, Carol. I had quite a few problems that I managed to do this photo. ?
does your neighbor also have to fend off ratbirds?
That’s a very good photo of swallows in flight.
Thank you so much, Linda.
Just stunning photo!!! See them almost every day. Did you see that swallows fly low before rain?
Thank you so much. I didn’t know that. I learned something new again. Thanks ?
Clicking birds in flight is a feat and you have done a good job of that
Thank you very much. I totally agree with you. I made many pictures to get one useful
good capture of them in flight. I always seem to be just a little off with birds in flight!
Thank you so much, Doc. I did a lot of pictures to have some useful ones. Swallows are too fast for me ?
I have been trying to catch butterflies lately. So far, not a lot of luck.
Swallows here make a nest from their saliva. It is called nido that is cooked to make a good soup.
Woow, this is very interesting and unusual information. I hear for the first time that it is edible.
