This is not a great pic and was not taken on the Global Big Day but the day after but I'm tickled to have it. A life bird for me! I didn't have time to sit and try to get a better picture this was the only one I was able to get. I guess I need to go back and try again!
The Violet-Green Swallow couple is still very active building their nest but still no eggs so far.
This morning I was surprised to see her in the nest when I first got up and turned on the tv, the earliest activity I've seen was at least an hour later than this. It's quite interesting to watch this process, even before the eggs!

I hope to have some really good video of them sitting on eggs next week.
She does like her feathers, she just about disappears sometimes when she's in the nest and she brings a new one in almost every time she returns.
Here's my YouTube Channel, I'll be uploading there as soon as there is anything to share!

ReplyDeleteYour first and last photos are incredible! Wow! Loved them all though.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love your birds.... A wonderful series. I saw my first shoveler on Easter this year... Your picture is better, but I was thrilled to spot it. And how fun to watch the swallow nest progress.
