A swallows' nest in the alley of Sestri Levante.
In spring and autumn, the alley of Sestri Levante hosts dozens of swallows every year that build their nests under the terraces or under the awnings of the shops.
They circle, chirp (or rather, chatter) and make me so happy!
Here I photographed the little ones, who are even smaller than they are, waiting for their anxious parents!
Have you ever seen them?

Most swallows are insectivorous and catch insects in flight. The composition of their insect diet varies depending on the species and the time of year. Some species may be selective and not catch every insect they encounter in flight, preferring larger prey. They also avoid certain types of prey, especially stinging insects such as bees and wasps.
