A House Of Dirt And Rock

We were walking along the dirt road and come across these dirt hills but believe me when I tell you my knowledge of birds is very slim. I only know that they are wonderful creatures that I adore!
But I really enjoyed these homes of the little birds that darted in and out of these holes. They were quick and smooth as they soared into their circular homes.

I wonder though how these hills don't cave in with all these holes but I suppose they are spaced well apart.
What bird does these? I know someone out there knows. I just adore the architectural look of this, it is fascinating! What do you think?

WOW - what neat homes they've built! I'm thinking maybe a cliff swallow - but really not sure.
Whatever it is - it sure is NEAT!

In Italy, the pigeons would roost inside volcanic rock mountains and there were holes like this. But I don't imagine it'd be pigeons there. I wonder....VERY fascinating!

Very pretty! Possibly Cliff swallows?

Kay said...

This is amazing! You don't suppose they poked out the holes themselves from rock? Wow!

Hi Michelle. Over here we call them Sand Martins (Riparia riparia) but for you they are called Bank Swallows.
Cheers FAB.

I've seen these homes in cliffsides. I agree, it's swallows.

I have epilepsy but I don't let that pull me down or control what I love to do in life.
Along with medications I am trying to control the seizures. People with seizures often suffer more from the attitudes of those around them than from the seizures itself.... for more information, contact the Epilepsy website here or talk to your local health unit.

Mountain Climbers! Please make your mark so I may follow you up as well!
