This week’s challenge is Graceful. I have chosen as my subject for interpreting the theme these kestrels in flight.
kestrel in flight
“One swallow doesn’t make a summer” but as its August and day time temperatures regularly hitย
40ยฐC, I think it is definitely summer. Yesterday our windows were wide open and I heard a lot of twittering outside, on investigating I found four swallows on our laundry pole.ย
I love watching the swallows fly around but it also makes me sad, as I remember watching swallows with my late ex-wife one September in the French lake district.ย
One swallow family are nesting on the third floor of our apartment block.

The swallow has a high slightly mechanic “t-weet” and a twittering song uttered on the wing or on a vantage point like our laundry pole.
