New neighbours.

We have some new neighbours here on our dock. They are noisy and aggressive but at lot of fun to watch. They are a family of barn swallows that have taken up residence under the bow of a powerboat across the dock from us. I guess this is what happens if you park your boat and walk away. I’ve haven’t seen anyone on this boat the whole summer so I guess it was the perfect place for Mr. and Mrs. Swallow to set up shop. Walking down the dock is now an interesting experience as Mrs. does not want anyone coming near her babies. So she dives and we duck – I think it is a bit of a game for her to see how close she can get. I tried to snap a proper picture but could not stop flinching when she came at me so this is the best I could get.
