Glad you are posting Adrienne. :-)
I really like the swallow and moorhen yawns. Well done.

Nice set again Birdie. It looks funny to see swallows perching because they never seem to land!

Cheers, Owen.

the welcome swallows are so sharp and close....how did you get them to sit so still? superglue on the perch? lol

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best

What did you do to it? It is screaming it's little head off!!And it's poking it's tongue out! Beautiful , how close were you? (what a lens ! What a shot!)

Thanks guys..... I didn't do anything to it..... that is me..the Swallow whisperer!
(and it wasn't screaming M-L I think it was yawning or something!!)
I was trying to hold the dog still at the time too so it was a miracle I got a shot at all !
To be honest the rail on the culvert is next to the road and it is their favourite perch! So it is just a matter of approaching slowly enough so as not to spook them into flight in a hurry.
