When I went into our small barn yesterday, which has been empty since the ewes and their lambs moved out in early Spring, a pair of swallows where flying around inside. They flew through the open fronted section and not long after returned. They soon went off again together. When they had gone I took a closer look at one of the corner eaves, and sure enough there was a nest with chicks.
I do love swallow nests. I hope to see a bit more of these, maybe when they poke their heads up with that wide, yellow gape!
