Preparing to Fly

There has been a bit of a lack of summer conditions these last few days, which have kept me out of the hills for a bit. Probably a good job too as there has been much to organise and prepare for our next, forthcoming adventure and time is rapidly running short...

Meanwhile, it turns out that we aren't the only ones preparing to fly off somewhere on an adventure. Our local little Swallow friends are all hatched and excitedly chirping and peering over the edge of their nest, preparing for their own next adventure! 

Yesterday, the first brave one took the plunge, and would have managed quite well had he not taken a wrong turn and ended up indoors! We popped him back into the nest so he could refocus have another try!

Since then I think they've been a bit reluctant to go for it, but they are growing up fast and soon there won't be space for everyone!... Who's gonna go first though!?...
