Hello everyone.
Last time I wrote about swallows in our shop. Each year they come back and spend summer in my fathers shop You can read here more about them First post
I found more photos and some video of them in the shop.
So as I mentioned in first post they get used to my father working there. They seem that they are not bothered with noise in the shop. However if someone else enters shop than sometimes they to fly around and make noise. When we are around swallows are calm. They hang out around shop - on the tables, tools and equipment.
Here is one photo when they just sit and you can come close to take photo.
Just to keep track this photo was taken June 3rd 2020.
Swans also have distinctive sound when treat is around - kind same sound when someone new is there. For example if they are noisy and fly around there is high possibility that cat is around.
Other thing that I mentioned in first post is how after younglings get bigger and start to fly they come back to the shop to sleep over. They sit on electric cables and sleep there. When time to fly back is close like in these photos where it is almost September you can see all younglings around - even from the first nest ( as I remember we have younglings two times in shop). All all of them gather around.
Here are some photos.
These photos are from August 29th of 2021
As you can see almost in all corners of the shop there is nest. My father dont take them down so they are there couple years at least. When they come back they can use nests if they are suitable.
And finally there is video of feeding. Younglings wait in the nest and during day parents keep getting food to them.
This is one of many times when food arrives.
this video should be of June first 2020 ( it is almost 20:00 oclock - 8 PM and parents still keep bringing food) )
If I am around home at this time of year I will try to record more of their journey.
During the summer they are part of shop. They sing around and fly and play. It is joyful.
Enjoy.
