Tree swallows at nest box

Ottawa East

Someone has installed five new swallow boxes, four along a fence, and one behind the fence, and competition for each box was fierce! So good to see so many swallows around recently.

A great moment to capture. Following the harsh winter I imagine they love Spring as much as humans V

Boxes look great - no wonder there is competition for them. Great catch.

Very nice catch. I find swallows extremely difficult to capture because they are constant motion. V.

So good to see swallows back this time of year. What a treat to watch the boxes and the babies to come!

Great to see the swallows making good use of the boxes, keeping them around for you to enjoy.
