House Martins at nest - first attempt, so so


House Martin nest, early evening on my neighbours gable, but I missed the best light while yapping on the phone. The nest is shaded for most of the day, but as the sun goes round and gets lower, there's a brief period when it's lit up enough to get photos. These are brighter than the originals I uploaded but I'll let that go as they've become a bit clearer.


House Martins fighting at a nest on my neighbours gable. I assume an intruder is the lower bird being pecked by the other


A rather dinosaur like beak sticking out of the nest waiting to be fed


There are at least three chicks, that's as many as the small hole has space for so there may be more


One of the adults leaving the nest, I wonder if they go in for housekeeping as all of the feeding seems to be outside


A very large looking gape in this one, the adult has a beak full of what looks like greenfly



One of the many small frogs in my pond sitting on the duckweed, probably no more than 15mm long


This one still has its tail as a few on the surface do



Yet to be identified Wasp. It comes in often to the pond for a drink, today was the first time I had a camera suitable for insects



Very demanding these young Blackbirds


Looks to be well fed
