Excellent. Much better than the landing sequence IMO. Lovely and sharp. What is it perched on. Looks like my last attempt at bubble'n'squeak! :toast:

The swallows are nesting in old German gun emplacement left over from the war, it has been restored to its original condition and the green stuff under the swallow is part of the camouflaged exterior.

Thanks all for your comments.
