Here are the baby swallows at work. One of them left the nest today and stood stretching his little wings for the first time. They are soooo lovely. I couldn't get a closer shot without standing on the table, risking life and limb (and table) and maybe frightening the parents to death...  |

It's nice now I've moved and am not being bombarded with unsavoury materials and grubs! We have a perfect view of them. Lovely little things they are, although it was a bit of a worry when the little one started moving about - I don't want a kamikaze baby bird......... there are 4 altogether in that tiny nest....

Great photo 4P ;D Can you zoom in using your photo editing program?  |

Maybe I could get it better..... I did zoom in a bit but it lost so much resolution that I changed it back.

I know what you mean - when we first got our digital camera OH set it up so that photo's could be used in emails without editing them first. But I quickly realised, just as you have that clarity was lost when zooming in.  The camera is now set up for the best possible image - max. pixels. Which means I can zoom in and in and in and in and in, - well I might be exaggerating there slightly. But it does mean I have to edit more often if I want to email the image. : |
