Hi Ryan, I like the overall noise they make when gathered together, seemingly very excited and ready to head out in a large group. Thank you for your comment, my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Thank you for your visit and kind comment. 👍◕‿◕

Hello again, thank you for watching my friend. It pleases me that you enjoyed it. Thank you for your kind comments too 👍◕‿◕

Hi Don, I hope you and your family are well and enjoying life, my friend. It is always a pleasure to read your sincere comments and I appreciate your constant support. I find it amazing that just a few months after hatching, these guys fly 6,000 miles after probably only flying under 100 miles in their young lives up to that point! I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year, my dear friend, and thank you as always. 👍◕‿◕

Thank you for watching and for your kind comment my friend. Also for the 'Like'. Much appreciated. 👍◕‿◕

Hello my friend, I know exactly how you felt and I sat for a good half an hour in the comfort of my car, watching and listening to them excitedly being fed. Wow! I would love to have Swallows nesting on the verandah beams of my house! even a verandah would be nice, lol. Thank you for your continued support, and kind comment, my friend. Please *take care and stay safe* 👍◕‿◕

Thank you as always for your supportive comment, my dear friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hi Petra, they always brighten any day with their happy sort of busy chirpy ways. Thankfully, their numbers are steady and they must do well in sunnier climates.... wouldn't we all. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year, my dear friend, and thank you as always. 💃🏽🕺🏾 ✨ 🥂.👍◕‿◕

Hello there, thank you for your visit and for your kind words my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hello Andrea, I'm glad to have made this public when you had a couple of minutes to spare, before getting busy again. I like to start my mornings just by answering posts and emails for a while before I get on with seemingly endless jobs to do, and of course, some of the work I can do here at my home. It is slow progress, but progress never-the-less. It is VERY cold too, with floorboards up and no carpets or heating in the room we have started on. Some of the ceiling is down too and the cold draft from the underfloor air bricks we have had fitted, makes me shiver at night. I've never actually thought about your weather-destroying wood in a relatively quick time before. I hope it is not over-harvested, making it tough for the Birds, who use it for nesting on or in! And all the tiny Insects, and even mushrooms who make it their home. The three chicks all together were just so funny and super cute to watch being fed, and their little heads turning to follow the flight of the adults as they caught flying insects around them. I'm sure they are learning from it too. Well, it will soon be New Year and I wish you and your family to have a Happy and Prosperous New Year, my dear friends and thank you as always for your never-ending support and sincere comments, and kind words. Bring on 2023 and here's to happy times ahead! *Big Hugs* 👍◕‿◕

Thank You dear Jane, and Happy New Year to You! It does not sound as You can enjoy winter but I hope You will have good and peaceful times ahead, both at home and in the wild! A thought from my family!

Thank you for your visit and kind words. 👍◕‿◕

Hi Anita, I hope you are well, my friend. I find that Swallows always seem chirpy and lively, and it's always a pleasure to see them. I'm glad you enjoyed watching and I appreciate your continued support and lovely comments. I wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year, my dear friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hello there, my friend, welcome to my channel. Thank you for your visit and kind comment. I hope to see you again sometime. 👍◕‿◕

Hi Steven, thank you for always watching and commenting on my videos. You always leave such great comments! It is hard to believe how such small birds can manage their long and hazardous migrations, especially the earlier-fledged young during their first season. Nature sure is incredible and in my opinion, *The Greatest Free Show on Earth* and a natural stress reliever, which leaves me feeling so much better! Wishing you a fabulous 2023 and thanks again, my dear friend. 👍◕‿◕

They are beautiful birds, yes. 👍◕‿◕

Hi Dave, I hope you are well, my dear friend (s). I was lucky to spot these fledglings, just after turning around a countryside lane. I was so pleased they did not all take off when I stopped to get my camera out. The new season and warmer days will soon come around my friend. 'No comment' on our Christmas but lets hope (as always) for a great New Year with many exciting and eventful days out... for all of us! Thank you for your continued support, as always. 👍◕‿◕

Hi Manu, yes, they do nest like this and over here in the UK it is the House Martins which choose to nest under the eaves of our homes and the Swallows are more likely to nest in the same way but inside barns, sheds and stables etc. Both birds are very similar and both active and seemingly happy. I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year, my dear friend, and thank you as always. 💃🏽🕺🏾 ✨ 🥂.👍◕‿◕

Hello my friend, yes they can be very difficult to film, as they are always on the move and particularly in flight. Thank you as always my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hello my dear friends, I hope you have been and are well. (things have just been consistently difficult here, physically and mentally) Time is obviously limited for you too, but thank you for stopping by and watching, as usual. I love these 'happy and chirpy' birds and hope some of that rubs off here too, lol. I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year, my dear friend, and thank you as always. 💃🏽🕺🏾 ✨ 🥂.👍◕‿◕

@@WildlifeBirdsUK thank you my friend. I am having a hard time keeping up on YT. I feel bad that I’ve missed many of your videos. All we can do is live each day to the fullest even with what we both have going on. I refuse to let Cancer keep me from doing what I love. Some days I’m slower but that’s ok. At least I’m out and about. I had a third Lumbar medial pain block couple weeks ago. Didn’t go so well. I see my Boston specialist this month. My local team asked me to ask him from a couple month Chemo break. I’m having extreme fatigue and brain fog:chemo brain. I pray he lets me have a little break. I’ve been at this 4 years and 4 months. It’s a lot my friend. The side effects are tough. I know when people look at me riding my bike and hiking etc they say you don’t look like you have cancer. To be honest that’s not a nice thing to say,, what does cancer look like? Of course you and I know what it looks like. I think they mean well thou. They say oh you still have hair. Oh my,,, they should come to my cancer center with me monthly for treatment,, they will see there are more patients with hair that without. Different treatments effect different parts of your body. I’ve had the nastiest comments on YT. I’ll write you private tomorrow as I don’t want to share it in public. Always thinking of you. I need to look at my YT list and focus on the ones like you who take the time to watch and comment. I’m spending way to much time on YT. I need to cut back. Sending hugs and love. Thanks for always being so kind to me. Your a great man.

@@NaturesFairy Hi Brenda, you cannot have missed too many videos surely, as I am only making one public every 4 weeks. It has proved to be a good decision (for me) as I have been desperate for extra time needed for other things that on reflection are way more important. Also, the family have needed to rally around and be there for each other after my brother's sad passing. OMG, when it comes to cancer and the way others 'understand' it (not) ... they simply don't realise the difficulties both physically AND mentally not only for the poor beggars suffering this god-awful disease but for their immediate families too. It is amazing how one day things can seem ok, even good... but then the next day it can be flipped over and can be painful and very bad! It is annoying when people say 'hey, you look so well, it's nice to see you so much better' (yeah right) I know it sounds horrid, but I would pay to be able to shift all my painful sleepless shit onto one or two others, just for a day or two so that they then understood what it is like. Plus it would be so amazing to just have a little sleep and a day without pain! It's hard to understand why and how people can be so cruel as to leave hurtful comments on social media as if they know what it is like to be in your shoes... and you know you should be able to simply dismiss such comments but it cannot be that easy and must make you angry as hell too! On YT you do soon realise who is and isn't sincere and just when I stop commenting on every public video that friends add (they may do 2 or 3 a week or even more) ... they just disappear, which is disappointing but proves I WAS wasting valuable time. You take very good care of yourselves and each other, because nobody else will and they may not even notice if and when you post a little less often. The most important things in this life are your health and your family and other things should perhaps give way to allow more time but there is only one person who can decide what is the best action to take and that is you! *BIG Hugs and lots of love for you Both* 💗👍◕‿◕

Hello there, I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Thank you for your continued support and thank you for your kind comments. I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year, my dear friend, and thank you as always. 💃🏽🕺🏾 ✨ 🥂.👍◕‿◕

@@WildlifeBirdsUK Thank you very much for your wishes of happiness, I wish you and your family all the best for this new year as well.

Hi Bernie, thank you for your constant support, my friend. It is difficult to capture decent video of Swallows in flight, as they are so fast and change directions in a fraction of a second. In most places, if you sit there for a while, maybe reading a book or similar, the birds will almost always appear around you, especially in winter when they are hungry. It can be very therapeutic, even to someone who isn't usually that interested, but then they often get the bug and get into it. After all, Nature, Wildlife & Birds are *The Greatest Free Show on Earth* (in my opinion). 👍◕‿◕

@@WildlifeBirdsUK I am in agreeance. My eldest brother still some times refers to me as Birdman, I have observed and enjoyed them all my life. Swallows are indeed fast movers, kudos to you 👏👏

@@adventurewithbernie 'The Outback Birdman' sounds like a great channel name, lol. It sure would be miserable without birds, mate. 👀 Thankfully that is not the case. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@@WildlifeBirdsUK 🤣 Sounds fantastic, I'll keep it in mind 🤔

They are! 👍◕‿◕

Hello my friend, yes they are indeed very cute, huddled together like this. I watched them for a good half an hour from inside my car, parked opposite right where they were. thanks for your kind words and Have a great New Year! 👍◕‿◕

Hi Goldie, thank you for your visit and I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video. Thank you also for your kind comment, my friend. Much appreciated. 👍◕‿◕

@@WildlifeBirdsUK Thank you my friend.🙂🙂

Thank you for your visit and kind comment my friend. 👍◕‿◕

Hello there my friend. The Swallows do not get affected by sitting on electriciy poles and wires and they love to perch on them in large groups, as seen in the video. I'm happy that you liked the video and thank you for your comment. 👍◕‿◕

Thank you so much 😀

Hello Jacob and Totty, and welcome to my channel. Thank you for your visit and kind comment. I hope to see you again sometime. HNY to you. 👍◕‿◕

@@WildlifeBirdsUK Thank you, Totty is a nickname and Jakub is my name. Many people know me by the nickname Totty.

@@vtacijakub Aaah, I see. I'll try to remember that if and when you call again.

Dziękuję za odwiedziny i miły komentarz, przyjacielu. 👍◕‿◕

I think this is the case all over the UK as i read many comments on exactly this in a recent story on Facebook. There were fewer last season than the season before that one too. 👍◕‿◕

@@WildlifeBirdsUK I’m thinking about putting up some swallow nesting cups to help them out a bit. The biggest threat to them other than a decline in insect populations is that many buildings are being modernised and renovated removing key nesting areas

@@theotheseaeagle That's a great idea Theo and maybe i could look into similar with Swift boxes as we used to have swifts nesting under the eaves and perhaps even into the roof slate / attic area, but we had double glazing and new gutters etc several years back and the way they got in was blocked without me even thinking about it, and only realised late the following season when I watched one fly under and straigth back out again... I was gutted and still am. We have a bird rescue here at home and are seeing many flerdglings brought in with people saying they are not seeing them being fed once fledged etc... never bought so many kilos of mealworms! Approx £40-50/week in those alone! 👀

Hello there, my friend. yes, you are right and they will continue to wait and eat as much as the parents can bring back for them. Luckily for them, there was a very good supply of flying insects and the parents were very good at catching them. Thank you for your comment. 👍◕‿◕
