Art Journal WK14 Birds

I am a member of the RSPB & have been for a number of years. So birds have meaning to me. When I read the prompt, I did wonder how best to illustrate their meaning. Then I remembered the fab photos both my father & I took of the Housemartins, that nest every year on his bungalow. (The pics on this card aren't clear but they are in my photos slideshow in the sidebar, if you are interested in better close ups!)
Last year, their was a crisis & the nest fell. The three babies were still okay & almost fully fledged. Dad taped an old plant pot in place near the original nest & put the babies into it. They lived happily their for another week before flying away. We hope they do come back again this year, towards the end of this month they are due. Hopefully the weather conditions will be better for them & the mud they use for their nest will be better.
