Building a Swallows Nest

Last year we were lucky enough to have a pair of swallows build a nest under our front porch. They went on to successfully raise 3 chicks, which we were overjoyed about.

Swallows are such beautiful little birds, which are a real feature of the Uk, although they are mostly seen flying.

It's now that time again and I'm thrilled to say we think they are back, at least they have flown back and forwards to inspect the nest, and are generally hanging around chirping at each other. Hopefully they will go on to have some more chicks this year, and I'll get lots of photos and videos.

The video here is a photo video I made last year, it shows photos of the nest at various stages as it was built using mud and twigs from our local river.

Seagulls at Amble in Northumberland


This is my video taking in 2015 of some seagulls bobbing in the water at Amble.

I love all birds and I find this video quite relaxing to watch.
