Traffic on this bridge doesn't bother these swallows but a pedestrian causes a small panic . They are amazing as they fly after insects for their food . I read that it takes an estimated 3000 mouthfuls of mud to build these nests while they perch on sheer smooth concrete or rocks . My swallow bird in flight pics have a low keeper rate !

So similar swallows exist in NSW meaning they have a niche to fill there as well . Please tell me what your avatar is called .

BC is another local that seems quite exotic . Thanks all for liking my post.
