Yesterday I was on the scene (camera at hand!) at my neighbour's when there was about 6 House Martins flying around.

Another near neighbour has a pair making a nest, it appears that some late arrivals were in search of a nest. As the pair at my neighbour's house had already completed the partial nest already there, I guess they had to prove it was theirs!

It was very cloudy and of course the nest is under the eaves in the shadows, but I upped the EV to max and got some reasonable shots. I have selected approximately 20 of these.
