"Mis" golondrinas

Todos los años, con una puntualidad casi exacta, las golondrinas vienen a anidar en un pequeño rincón del porche de mi casa. Tal vez, sea siempre la misma pareja, aunque no lo sé, porque desconozco su longevidad y sus costumbres. El caso es que esta año, he seguido su proceso desd el principio. Desde que empezaron a construir su nido, la puesta de sus huevecillos, y su crecimiento lento pero firme. Las he fotografiado dando de comer a sus pequeños polluelos y he sufrido con ellas el calor agobiante que hemos tenido este verano. Pues bien, ayer, decidieron que ya eran mayores para abandonar su nido, explorar lo que la vida les va a deparar y así de bonitas se colocaron en mi valla y me deleitaron con sus primeros vuelos. Una experiencia maravillosa. Hasta el año que viene, amigas.

Every year, with an almost exact punctuality, the swallows come to nest in a small corner of the porch of my house. Perhaps, it is always the same couple, although I do not know, because I do not know their longevity and their customs. The fact is that this year, I have followed its process from the beginning. Ever since they began to build their nest, the laying of their eggs, and their slow but steady growth. I have photographed them feeding their little chicks and I have suffered with them the overwhelming heat we have had this summer. Well, yesterday, they decided that they were old enough to leave their nest, to explore what life is going to bring them, and so beautiful they placed themselves on my fence and delighted me with their first flights. A wonderful experience. Until next year, friends.
