This is a wee baby swallow who fell out of his nest and I found him outside our porch. The nest is inside the porch. The parents were sweeping around sounding very cross with me while I took the picture. I don't know what happened to him, whether he managed to fly and get back in with his siblings or not.

I think he died he did not look happy. But there are at least 3-4 babies who have survived and are flying around everywhere now. Hopefully I will only have to wash down the porch once more and they won't mess it up again.
A very cute photo. I am sorry to hear he died! :-(
Well I guess that is nature. But the swallows are very prolific this year. They have had two broods already and we are busy cleaning the step. But I feel privileged to share my porch with such well travelled birds. They are very welcome to stay until they go off to South Africa in the winter.
Hey you're back?
yup I'm back hope to post some pix soon! Still jet-lagged big time!
