Description I'm not sure if you want to see more of my new bird friends, but I love this photo.
The adult barn swallow spends all day catching insects and bringing them back to the four young swallows on the wire.
When it arrives, they get excited and fight over who gets the food.

All favorites, comments, feedback, and criticism are appreciated.

Really excellent timing on your shot, it looks like they are lining up for their food. Thank-you.

Thank you. They have been living outside my door on this wire all summer, so the photo opportunities have been endless.

We have some down by the waters edge, but no access to shoot them, and when they fly it is almost impossible to capture them as they like to fly in an unpredictable flight path.

They where sick and needed meds and I needed to make them eat the worms putting it into there throat, fellt disgusting but it was fun.

Might be the same. They live in Belgium too.
They are funny little birds especially the young ones.

Yeah, they get in big fast swarms here where the bugs are.
They are also loud and goofy.
