Late Swallows walking the high barbed wire

A few months ago we had a trip to Dartmoor and saw Barn Swallows enjoying some of their first weeks of flying.

At this age, though, they seem to be quite happy perching.

It’s fun to watch them balancing in the breeze as they walk the high barbed wire.

By now they’ll be feasting on flies in Africa. I hope they will make it back.
