Swallows

Down our street the Swallows take advantage of the various archways with this bird nesting in the church porch (The 'gentleman of the road' who occasionally sleeps in the church here usually records the number of young in the visitors book)

There are also a couple of pairs in a neighbours archway and two nests within a couple of feet in the doorway of the village hall.

Presumably these latter birds must be related to nest in such close proximity?

Walking home last night I photographed this striking luminous cloud above the village.
