I&#39;ll start with a photo taken on Thursday that got put to one side in favour of the fox post.

It&#39;s very late in the season, but presumably they are still fattening up on the seemingly (and surprisingly) abundant insect life. No photos of the swallows, but I&#39;ll include one more shot from today.
