Wild Wednesday: "Sibling rivalry"
On our walk today, I stopped to watch these young swallows perched on a tree. They're out of the nest, but still being fed by their parents who were flying back and forth to deliver food.
When a parent was nearby, the youngsters would get quite excited and active, like they were trying to draw attention to themselves: "Me! Me!!". In this case mum/dad can indeed be seen heading for the kiddie on the left who was making more of a fuss. (Though I can tell you that a fraction of a second later, he/she swerved away from that one... and in fact didn't feed the one on the right either. Maybe realising at the last moment they're actually someone else's offspring?!)
