Summer Swallows

Linocut

Swallows are such amazing little birds, making the exraordinary journey from Africa every year to breed in the UK during our summer months. These birds were nesting in the eaves of the farmhouse below, and the family had gathered on the line in the summer breeze. The delicate panicles of the horse chestnut and the catkins of the oak blossom surround them.
