Thanks Easy gardener - It was lucky and as of this afternoon I have to console myself that I managed to save these two only, as I took a peak in the box and discovered very sadly that the other 3 didn't make it - could have been that they'd been hurt in the fall or just the shear fright of it all? I'll never know - hope you're having a good weekend - Miranda
Hi Cheryl - It was such a blessing to discover the nest before it fell and I could never bear for any wildlife to suffer and if there was a chance of saving them I'd have done whatever it took... it brings quite a satisfying feeling when you've done something to save a life or too!
Just how cute are these two - behind them and out of sight are their 3 siblings... :-) For the whole story please see the previous posting... 
Lucky you noticed the nest was in danger of falling. The babies look strangely un-birdlike, perhaps because I can't see any wings!

ReplyDeleteMiranda......How kind of you to help the swallows......at least two survived. I am sure they would not have done so without your help.....
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see the hedgehogs on your previous post......
