[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Swallows are excellent fliers, and use these skills to attract a mate and to defend territory. In general, the males select a nest site, and then attract a female using song and flight, and guard their territory. The size of the territory varies depending on the species of swallow; in colonial-nesting species it tends to be small, but it may be much larger for solitary nesters. The air speed of an unladen European swallow is estimated to be roughly 24 miles per hour (39 km/h).
Swallows are able to produce many different calls or songs, which are used to express excitement, to communicate with others of the same species, during courtship, or as an alarm when a predator is in the area. Begging calls are used by the young when soliciting food from their parents. The typical song of swallows is a simple, sometimes musical twittering.

Hi Lule,

What a nice photo. The composition is really seet with the two little swallows. The b/w edge or frame gave a nice touch.

Good photo! Congrats.

Regards from Miami,

Hi Lule,
Very nice shot, the two birds look so cute together. Good composition and I like your low POV. Interesting choice of frame, very artistic, I might borrow your technique if that's OK.
cheers
Peter
