Mud Swallows

The mud swallows have returned in force to the farm. While these critters are a nuisance round the house, I encourage them to build lots of nests around the barns. Watching them swoop and scoop little droplets of mud and build their structures one drop at a time is better than people watching.
The cats get a little upset when a stroll through the pasture has kamikaze dive-bombers launching aerial attacks. The open grass land offers little protection from the swoops.
