Wildlife : Insects (creepy crawlies)

Welcome Swallows at Middle Path
Hirundo Neoxena





You don´t seriously expect me to raise a family in here?

The time consuming business of hatching the eggs.

Me First!

You First!

The chicks swiftly grow and in days are ready to leave the nest which seems to be perfectly designed to accommodate 3 chicks up to flight-time when only 2 can fit.

This nest ain´t big enough for both of us!

As fledging-time approaches the chicks test their wing muscles in the nest.

first venture from the nest

The young eventually venture from the nest - not too far at first.

Although that does dempand on where the nest is - here they are fortunate that the nest is constructed astride a rafter so that they can easily exit to a perch.

When the nest is built on the face of a wall the first venture from the nest must involve flight - a much more daunting exit!

2 days later and the fledglings are happily perched in a tree on the dam's edge.

At this stage the parents are busy feeding them, encouraging them to fly and teraching them the business of survival in the wild.
