Watched on the fence right outside of the south hide at Gruinart, a Swallow preening its feathers on an April afternoon. A bit closer than one I watched a few years ago.

There are some Swallows nesting at the old hide at RSPB Gruinart, quite difficult to catch in flight, they are so fast. Luckily one of them decided to take a break and pose for me on a fence just outside the hide.
