Birds and insects
This bird enjoyed circuling Carmen and I low to the ground today in the park, not very clear unfortunately as it was only small but amazing to watch!

Aww....I love swallows - ours (well - the ones that nest in our garage) have learnt that the dogs often disturb the insects, so are often around when the dogs are running about.

I've actually never seen as many swallows as I saw today. There were loads in the park and then my parents and I and my latest pup Calida went to the river Mersey and there were quite a few there also. I wished that I'd taken my camera there also as there was a family canooeing (I can't spell!).

Well done, must be difficult to get a bird like the swallow, I would spend so much time trying to find them through the view finder they would be half way to Africa before I got it sorted.
