Swallow chicks
Swallow chicks. Two swallow (Hirundo rustica) chicks in their nest, calling for food. A breeding pair of swallows build a nest from mud and grass and line it with feathers. The female lays a clutch of 3 to 7 eggs, which both parents incubate until they hatch between 13 to 15 days later. Both parents feed the chicks, which remain in the nest for about 20 days. Swallows usually raise two broods of chicks during the summer. Photographed in the UK

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the adorable sight of two swallow chicks nestled in their cozy nest, eagerly calling out for food. The breeding pair of swallows meticulously constructed their home using a combination of mud and grass, lining it with soft feathers to provide comfort and insulation. The female laid a clutch of 3 to 7 eggs, which both parents diligently incubated until they hatched after approximately 13 to 15 days. The responsibility of feeding these hungry offspring falls upon both parents who tirelessly gather nourishment for their growing chicks. These little ones will remain in the safety of their nest for about 20 days before taking flight into the world. Swallows are known to raise two broods during the summer months, showcasing their remarkable dedication as nurturing parents. This heartwarming scene was beautifully captured in the United Kingdom by Science Photo Library, offering us a glimpse into the wonders of nature's intricate cycle. It reminds us of the delicate balance that exists within our ecosystem and highlights the fascinating behavior exhibited by these British birds.
