A #Fledglings Barn Swallow from a second brood that has left the nest in rural Carmarthenshire today. So about a month to feed up before a long journey down to Kenya for the winter. 📷15.08.26

Thanks AB - had to pick one up from the ground as I was worried about cats catching it - hard to believe something so small will fly so far so soon.

I always find that amazing too! They hit the ground running, or flying!!!
