A barn swallow delivering a meal to one of its hungry nestlings.

Or perhaps conducting a choir?

From a recent photography workshop I was running on Mull.

Canon R7 RF100-500mm, f/5.6, 363mm, 1/1250th, ISO 12800

@petewalkden Beautiful photo.

Also, lots of "me, me, me" chirping from the choir, in slightly different pitches.

@petewalkden

How does it feed them? Can it hover like a hummingbird or something?

@MegaMichelle they fly up to a chick and put the insects caught pretty much down their throat!
