Caught this sequence whilst on the Island of Iona.
A pair of Adult Swallows, busy back and forth feeding their recently fledged young, who were sitting patiently waiting on a fence.
Just a shame the fence post was there.

Thanks for looking

So much for your worrying about the post, Phil. A well-deserved HC, congratulations. I like all of the images but V3 is my absolute favourite for the mirrored effect of the birds.

Shot No3 is a killer!! Just imagine being faced with that every five minutes of the day.And human parents reckon they get a hard time.

Super set of shots Phil, just a shame you couldn't get that extra bit of shutter speed to freeze it evenmore.
Superb set

Ah, but if the fence post wasn't there, there would be no fence and no pics! :0)

Very nice shots, I've tried for years to get a decent shot of swallows and failed miserably. These are truly excellent.
