Farewell to dear guests

So many swallows this year
spent summer in and around Seanhenge.

Spectacular to see them
hunting their evening meal.

Meanwhile the last one
left one of the five nests
alone under our roofs


Speeding southwards.
See you again
next spring.

  1. We have a saying that 'fish and visitors smell after three days'. NOT these visitors. I am sure you will be glad to welcome them in Spring. Each and every year.

  2. It's always sad to see friends go, and a glad thing when they come back.

    1. While many (new) neighbours do their best to prevent swallows from building nests under their roofs, I feel privileged. What wonderful animals.

  3. Wonderful captures. They will be welcomed back with open shutters. :)

    1. If we now and then - preferably at night ;-) - had had a nice little soft rain, I would add summer.

  5. Boniques fotos ens regales avui. Les orenetes van i venen alegrant-nos els dies.
    No sé si pensaries el mateix si fossis el seu sopar.🤭

    Aferradetes, Sean.

    1. Como cada vez hay menos insectos, parece que han cambiado sus métodos de caza. Maravillosas aves que nunca acabarían en mi plato. / As there are fewer and fewer insects, they seem to have changed their hunting methods. Wonderful birds that would never end up on my dinner plate.
