Barn Swallow
Now at last has begun to cool the kids learn to fly, so amazingly cute. They sit on the beams inside the barn, peering down at us. We have insulation rolls on the floor as her partner moved in the Court of swallows made their droppings on the plastic, and you know, swallows moved after. Just like they did fail the flight so soft they fall so now they lie there in the beam. 
But it is a BIG JOB to go in and out of the barn when the parents come in cool and excursions, waiting for them to fail and run Stuttgart in the face for one but they always manage to väjja away. I usually go a bit forward commanded, so it feels a bit safer. 
Barn Swallow, Hirundo rustica, given they are divinely sweet?
Have a nice Saturday evening

Kestrel
Good evening, not much done here today, but shot a little low on insects. Saw the tail of a snake down there on the field and with his tail, I mean the last bit of the snake that disappeared into the grass right in the ditch. So I could not see if there was a zigzag, or if there was a snake, dogs have tough directives when they are out there, I am watching them like a hawk. 
Have a look at nature film tonight on humpback whales, fantastic animals and interesting. They are off Hawaii in winter and in summer they migrate to Alaska, one of those fantastic nature that is both in Hawaii and Alaska.
Speaking of the falcon, we have three that are here and on Saturday I tried to shoot them from the balcony, but they are between 50 and 100 meters away as the images are then. But a hawk is in all cases and probably a Kestrel, Falco tinnunculus, which is the most common in Sweden. 
Am I wrong so please correct me.
Have a nice evening

Babies
Have not done much today, was down to the village shop a fast turn, has been calm most of the headaches came as it became the couch for a while. Sitting here on the patio in the shade, the wind is cool and right now the sun is gone it has withdrawn a substantially cloud cover, now it's probably the end of the nice summer weather, but rain is needed. 
Talked to her son today, he is in Malmö on the SM-free sport and standard pistol, had not gone any further but he was pretty happy anyway. But then when I sat here on the patio and talked with him then came flying into a swallow, a little bit lost today, I think, they have flown low here in the afternoon so rain is probably on its way.
A pair of tree sparrow have kids in the tin roof of the barn but I do not see the nest, I hope that kattskrället not take the kids when they should learn to fly for her to keep down there.
Today I finally got to see Spotted Flycatcher kids, they're probably quite hatched. Have a picture of them but it is blurry because I was on the ATV + I rushed myself to not interfere too much. I'll try to take better pictures.
have a nice Friday evening

Who am I?
oh wow, hot and windy here greatly. Yesterday I thought it would become the world's rain and thunderstorms for the sky was dark and very intimidating, but not, a little rumble and a bit of rain just in time. This morning I got a shock when I would take my coffee on the patio, first I saw some guts and then I saw a rat on the dogs' bed, I thought!
Thought it was a weird rats with thick bones that lay there, it turned herself after I rubbed sleep from his eyes that it was a bat! : Woot: isch fy and yack! It was certainly not reached even eat and I could see the little vampire teeth! We have bats in the barn here so it's not the first time I find one like that, this seemed to be a kid because it was not so great. Yes, the rush of water had to travel Canada and the viscera of a rat. : Sick: Sometimes pets are cheap, I can say.
Anyway, in our garage, it is a bird that has moved in and stay put, she has been there many good weeks but now the kids have hatched and I snuck over there and shot both male and female, BUT I do not know what they are for any , can you see?
I scrolled and scrolled in the bird book and think I found what it is, Tree Pipit, Anthus trivialis?
Am I right or? 
UPDATED 13/7-10, there is a Spotted Flycatcher, Musci striata. Not easy with birds, many look as well as insects.
have a nice warm day

Crested Tit
Today it's cold, think I'll take the winter uniforms, there will be a rainy and cold summer faith? But wildlife does not seem disturbed, last night we had a moose standing in the pouring rain out on the field but it gave up and went in among the shrubs and trees after a while. We also have a hawk who is here on the fields, will try to take pictures but raptors are so shy so we'll see if I can get it reasonably close.
We usually have three falcons who are here every summer and it would be interesting to get a picture to see what kind of falcon it is.
Do a bit of how I want my post here eventually, have not decided myself how I should have it.
Have a nice Sunday
