I know! Always on the move. They sat like this for a while, then one would fly off and come back again. All I had to do was stand still for a few moments. :) Thanks!
Beautiful fellows! So rare to catch them sitting still :)!
No, Mick, not my house. It's an out-building at one of my clients, and they weren't nesting, just posing! And thanks. :)
Have they nested on your house? - In UK its regarded as a blessing by some and a curse for others who don't like the mess.
I know, they are always flying around me at work!
Is so nice you could catch them still..these are always on the move :-)
