The last brood of swallows have just left the nest this afternoon in the main barn, the above 2 haven't got very far yet, about 6 feet away from the nest but at least they are now free.
It's been the busiest year we've had with swallow nests, 2 in the boiler room with a total of 11 young and 4 nests in the main barn with at least 16 fledged, should have been more but unfortunately all of the young in one of the nests died mid way through the rearing.
Only a few weeks remain now for all the young to get up to speed before the mass exodus to Africa starts!
