You will need to click the central "Play" icon at the bottom or the Foreward or Back icons either side of it...You may also want to key F11 to go into Full Screen Mode :)

Thanks Dave,

I've been making a little booklet out of this slide show and made a special one for the cover...I've added it above to introduce the slide show :)

BTW...Two are flying around and just three more to go...perhaps later today.

Cracking pictures there. I haven't seen any nests around but a whole family seem to like hanging out on my telephone wire. The young ones flap around a bit but spend most of their time sat off and waiting to be fed by mum & dad :lol:

Thanks Gents...The last three have now left the nest...I'll keep an eye open for them (on the wires Mark). BBC Devon have taken 14 of the pictures but I don't yet have a link :)

I've put the Swallows on Flickr with captions:-

http://www.flickr.com/photos/petermclel ... 2048/show/

It should play in full screen mode but if not, move your pointer near the bottom right corner and a row of thumbnails will appear with an Icon for Full Screen Mode at the extreme right...Click it then move your pointer away to let the thumbnails vanish :)
