Hungry for flies - still in Croatia

I was hanging up laundry one morning

and just above my line is this cable for electricity to our house.

Those swallows did not mind my moving with my arms and

sheets.

Oh, they are young and don't know to fly very well - thinks me....

but at least they came somehow onto the cable

 

I had much patience and kept my iphone

focused on the birds -

there came the mother (or father?) so fast and away again.

More waiting for me and for the youngsters

and fluttering with wings to be the next to be fed

with beaks wide open

(You can enlarge the photo by clicking it)

so fast - that my clicking is always too late

but I captured some feeding.

The old ones came every one or two minutes.

breakfast is over - ready to fly off filled up with flies.

 

a turn of 180° and in the evening - it looked like that

 

And when sun is shining ----- my eukalyptus tree.

Ok, it is not just mine, there are three more family owners.

I am in love with those leaves, fine, soft, light green, smelling,

 

and the bush behind produces such little flowers smelling

like Jasmin, fantastic, heavenly - it might be Jasmin - a Croatian kind.

And after that ..... we travelled home two long days.
