Yes, the weather was pretty good for photography, and indeed for most things :-)
I spent one evening watching the swallows in the courtyard behind our flat - there were two adults feeding three (or, possibly four, chicks). I think that one of the adults few straight off from the nest each time, while the other one often took a quick breather on the windowsill below the nest.
There was a shallow (1 - 3 feet deep) loch very close to the flat, and we often saw swallows swooping low over there - I guess that it provided good breeding conditions for insects, and the swallows and trout were competing for them.
