I love these little birds – but they are nearly impossible to photograph as they spend most of their time flying very quickly and darting around. If you can find them resting on a fence or something similar, then you’ve got a short window of opportunity to get a photograph while they are still. We see welcome swallows flying around the garden most evenings, and I had noticed these two seem to like to spend a lot of time resting on this old garden trellis we have – it’s right next to our garage and they spend a lot of time darting in and out catching insects. They are brave little things – dive bombing our cat who has given up even trying to catch them.
