I was feeling quite pleased with my good dead at work yesterday so I posted it on a Facebook photography page called Scotland From The Roadside.Almost 400 likes later and a news agency has just been in touch wanting my story! :laugh:
So,a couple of weeks ago swallows started to build a nest on a lorry trailer.I knew the trailer might have to go away before the chicks had fledged so I cut the nest of the chassis and placed it on a piece of board so I could pick it up again.
My 15 minutes of fame!

Ok,so I'm obviously better with wildlife than I am with technology so I'll try again!
Five eggs were laid in total which hatched last weekend.

But the trailer had to go away today to be emptied so I put a stack of pallets as close to the nest site as I could and placed the nest inside.

The family seem quite content with their new abode.This was one of the adults taking a quick breather and enjoying the new view this afternoon.
