After our neighbour’s Blue Tits had fledged, we thought we’d ended our own “Springwatch”, but hidden in an outhouse, I found 3 pleading gapes!!!
A couple of swallows had unusually made a nest of mud and grass on top of an old piece of plasterboard,and 3 eggs had hatched. The parents are almost impossible to capture on camera…. they move sooooooooooooooo fast. Its no wonder that Andromeda has never come close to nabbing one.
