Re: Bird Watching

How opportune.

Twitchers, there's been something puzzling me for weeks.

Do swallows feed on the wing?

For the past 3-4 weeks, at sunset, and just after, I can see swallows flying around, and around. Though only over a particular area.

They are quite high, about 100 feet, and are only flying over the still water in a lodge, not over the surrouinding trees, presumably because that's where there'll be more insects.

Is this something they do normally in summer, as I haven't noticed it in previous years?

Thanks.
