Hotting up

Now the temperature is hitting 30C at least every day, so summer is definitely upon us. We've refurbished our separate studio in the hopes that some visitors might just want to rent it for a few weeks through the summer months.

We've had a family of nestlings and parents in our eaves for the last month and I see now that they've all gone. I'm amazed at how quickly it went from building the next to the chicks hatching, growing and flying away - 4 or 5 weeks at the most.

Here's 2a photographs taken an hour before they all left home!
