The birds they mock me
Discussion
Am absolutely gutted. Last weekend I was at my parents and my sis's bf said that the swallows in one of the stables were just fledging (when he'd put the horse out a few hours previous), so off we trundle but alas they had fully flown and were chasing around so no jor - better luck next year. Took this one though which I thought was a bit of fun - struggling to make a really moody B&W conversion though to make it more spooky!

Very nice Paul, same place I took these, unfortunately we got to the site about 15 minutes after the feeding started so missed most of the display. We're just in the process of buying a house about an hour from there though so I'm looking forward to getting up there again next year!![](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4047/4578604830_500467eac4_z.jpg)
