Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 227

I am glad to open the new round and to announce Free Theme.

Usually I use some recent photos for illustration, but this week I have no new photos. The summer is showing us how hot it could be and it is not good to be out. I have though enough photos from my previous walks and I choose to show you these barn swallows.

On the first photo I managed to catch the young swallow being fed by one of the parents.

And on the second you can see the siblings.

ROUND 227

SHOW ME A PICTURE OF BIRD

FREE THEME

Now is your turn and let me see your photos of birds, but first read carefully the rules below⬇️

Rules

Show me your photo of a bird, following these rules:

• The photo must be your own.

• Post in the community Feathered Friends

• You may add more photos, but you should state which one is your entry, otherwise the first will be taken into account. Tell us something about your photo/s.

• Your photo must follow the weekly theme.

• Please put the link of your entry in the comment section of the contest post here.

• Put in the title of your post that this is an entry for the contest. (Optional) Use #smap as a tag.

• Last, but not least - have fun!

If you create quality post with more images and interesting story about them, making extra effort can give you bigger upvotes and attract curators. Keep that in mind
