THE SPECIAL SWIFTLET NEST. 特殊燕窝。

                                                                                                                                                                       
This is a very special and unique bird's nest. It is situated at 5cm between the roof and the plywood structure. Despite it's awkward location, it has successfully bore life and nurtured quite a few baby swiftlets. Taking this photo also required quite a long period of time and effort. The cameras being used were usually difficult to position to capture the scene. We had to climb up to the 6th rung of the ladder to reach the desired height. There were also several failed attempts at taking a good photo of this amazing sight.

I am in awe of the dedication and the effort being put in by the parents of this nest. I am also curious, and filled with emotions because of their choice. This is definitely an epic sight which I hope everyone will like.

The photos taken were taken at different times of the day and different periods of the baby swiftlet's growth. It was taken in pitch dark conditions and we took special care to not interfere, or affect the nurturing care of the parents for their young. I do hope everyone enjoys these pictures.

这是一个非常特殊的燕窝。它是在燕子板与天花板之间大约5CM(2 寸左右)的空间下所吐出来的燕窝。但它的确已经这个地方,繁殖了好几对燕子。要拍摄这些镜头,也得花上好几个月时间,因为空间非常有限,相机镜头常顶到天花板,还要爬上6级楼梯,相片也拍坏不少,实在不易。不过对于这对燕子爸妈精心所经营的燕窝所选择的地点都感到很好奇与敬佩,也为了留下这美丽的历史画面,这是绝对经典的画面,希望大家会喜欢。以上的拍摄工作时间都在白天与不同的繁殖期间,在暗不见五指的情况下拍摄的,绝对没有干扰与影响到燕子夫妇哺育小燕子的温馨时刻。
