Sometimes the most wonderful things can be found if we know where to look. Here's some everyday magic, courtesy of our wee birds...
The Swan Family...a perfect nesting place.

Bird on a Wire...A study on swallows on the river. One good way of telling the difference between swifts and swallows is that swifts will never be found perched on a line. Their feet aren't made for it. Originally cave dwellers, swifts can cling to the side of walls, but they cannot balance on wires.
