Sitting side by side on a fence, these two, fluffy young birds didn’t seem to mind at all taking part in Becky’s October squares.Β They must have known we would be kind and that they were going to be in great company this month.

Beautifully captured. Love it!
They were so sweet! π π
Lovely. Them swallows don’t often sit still for portraits. You must be special.
I think they must have been worn out, Gunta. They sat without blinking for all of 5 minutes π π
They are very cute with their fluffy feathers. π
They were so still, I couldn’t believe it π€π
Cute! Looks like we are both featuring our feathered friends in this midweekβs blog post! π
Not sure at this point if I’m going to keep up with Becky’s daily challenge! π π
Jo – I love how the slideshow moves these birds side to side – cool effect
Thanks, hon! I like it too π π
They are cute, and I’m sure they loved to be in front of the camera!
They didn’t seem to mind at all, Elizabeth π π
Isn’t it great when birds sit still for the camera?
Fantastic!!! π π
No JavaScript, so sadly I canβt see any images, Jo π’
Not on your PC/laptop, Sue? π¦ π¦ Sorry!
So, autumn is creeping up on us and you try to make it easier by giving us photos of two birds? Well, it worked. I feel better now!!
It feels nothing like autumn here, Mari, but I almost never manage to capture birds on a wire. One look at me and they’re off! πππ
So sweet! A good place to have a wee look around & good conversation.π
Like a bird on the wire… π€ππ
You took the song right out of my head, Jo. π
Great photos Jo!
Thanks darlin π€ππ

I was watching carefully to see if there was just the one bird, but either it moved or there were definitely two. Shame you couldn’t get them together. Swallows by the looks of those tails. We didn’t see any swifts here again this summer and the last time I saw swallows was up in Scotland where Margaret has just been, I wonder why there weren’t any down here? And will the starlings will return? Even nature is confused by world events.
I thought I’d answered this? The shot with both was singularly unimpressive and I quite liked them in sequence on slideshow. Just me and my peculiarities π€ππ
Not that I have seen. Slideshows don’t work on the phone btw. Or at least not on mine.
So did you not see the azulejos on Saturday? They were rather nice. They work on my Huawei because I checked but I think on older phones they don’t. Sorry πππ
Mine is a newish phone also Huawei. No worries as I always read posts on the laptop, I just glance at them on the phone.
Just had a look on the phone and the message is that this slideshow requires java scripts. Obviously I don’t have it installed.
So, in theory, you could π π
Checked and it is on in my browser. It must be a problem on the WordPress app. Yes, works on the browser.
Yay! Result! I never fiddle with my phone. We don’t speak the same language π π
Haha… π
So sweet!
Younglings πππ
Very cute π They do look quite a good size but the tail gives them away π
They were quite small on the fence, Eunice, and I couldn’t believe how still they stayed π€π
beautiful pair, Jo. lovely shots! π
They were very sweet, LolaWi. Thanks! π€ππ
Nicely done for an opener Jo π
Thanks darlin! Just back from walk. Will catch up later, Brian π€π
What a gorgeous pair to welcome us into October. They are lovely, Jo.
Birds never cooperate with me, Debs, so I was quite smitten with this pair π
Your expert would be right! Fabulous opener Jo π₯°
You can always rely on him… well, sometimes, Becky π π Cheers, darlin!
Have a great Thursday xx
Thanks darlin. Walking round the salinas at Luz de Tavira with half a dozen friends π€π
Marvellous! Are these peregrine falcons, do you know?
Much smaller, Margaret. I think they were swallows π π
Really? Ah, the scale confused me – I thought they were birds of prey.
I doubt they’d let me get so close. And bear in mind, I’m abysmal at bird shots. One look from me and off they go π π
Join the club …
Great start, Jo! Do you know what kind of birds they are?
My expert tells me they’re swallows, Carol π π
