On the Wall

While at a customer's location, I watched the birds flying back and forth tending to their babies. Here is one nest, attached to the wall, with some babies waiting for food. The nests are built high on the wall with just enough room for the parents to land on the edge. Shot taken hand held, 200mm

First is one adult.

Marshall, nice find you captured well . I am not a bird expert but I do believe it is a type of swallow,maybe barn . Very interesting with the mud nest.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards

Thank you Don. From what I hear, these birds return to the same wall every year like clockwork.
It is quite the site to watch, there are probably 10 nests along this one wall.
I did not have my camera with me last month when there, so I was not going to miss it this time.
