Field Notes

Description:

A brooding swallow sits in a broken nest. One egg has already fallen and lost life while others are hanging by a few straws. Guess they are not even getting proper incubation. These birds migrate to this area to breed and bring up their young.

Habitat:

Western Himalayas.
