... does not a summer make!
It is rare to see a swallow up close and perched so near to the ground as this one was. Normally they are seen flitting around in search of food, often sat high up on power lines and sometimes stealing a drink of water by skimming the surface of a pond. But perhaps on Skomer these birds have no fear of predators and that is why I was able to get so close.
Anyway regardless of the reason it was a real treat to be able to approach so close and get these great pictures while it paused briefly before setting off again to feed.
