In July birds tend to gather again. Chicks are almost grown and now they prepare for the autumn migration.

Mallard female kayaking

Mllard female,NF Photo 100721
I was out kayaking day before yesterday. I was talking to a man who has some red waterlilies. While I was talking and taking some pics of the waterlilies this female malard decided my kayak was to her liking. She jumped up on it and started to groom herself. I was quick with the camera but had to lean a lot backwards to get some pics. I had the 300 mm lens so it was not that easy.
More Waterlilies.

Adult Barn Swallow, NF Photo 080627
All photos taken in or outside the barn where my kayak is. The first two was taken last week when it was really hot. You could see the nestlings has a hard time breathing. There were 5 of them even if the photos show only 4. So it was warm and crowded up there.
The last two photos was shot two years ago when they nested inside the barn. I had a lot of fun to try to catch them in this position. It was rather dark in there so I needed a flash too. It took me several days and at least 200 pics before I succeded. :)

To be honest I would not have recognised this one myself. But one thing to look for is the long, white, tail feathers.
