Births, Deaths and a Swallow

No site details with these but I found what looked to be a predated Kingfisher nest with pre-fledgling feathers still "in pin" and spraint from an unknown as yet source nearby. The Yellowhammer has one of the feathers in its beak for its nest. The Ringed Plover was photographed from a distance so not to disturb it from the nest and the Swallow was at Keptie Pond where at least one Greylag remains. Perhaps the other is on a nest?
