The ever open mouths
Sand martins - or their Kefalonian equivalent - were everywhere on the island. In the hotel every doorway or covered walkway had nests built over the lights. In some places someone, presumably a staff member, had put cardboard underneath the nest, but whether it was to help the birds or stop guests being pooped on is anyone's guess.
I spent a lot of time ooh-ing and aah-ing over the babies.
In the restaurant, at the wedding reception, the baby birds being fed were arousing more interest than the speeches! This clip is only a few seconds long but it makes you feel sorry for the poor parents who were on constant food delivery service.
That is a LOT of babies... do you think some are cuckoos or something..??

I can empathize!!!
ReplyDeleteWe had swallows build a nest right outside our back door years ago and it was a wonderful educational experience for the girls.
ReplyDeleteThey are so adorable! Seeing birds constantly feeding their young makes me glad I am a human mother:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely holiday!
