I was filming in Massachusetts at the research forest owned by Harvard University. It is one of the most beautiful forests in New England. Rich with maple trees that in peak fall produce a spectacular display as the midas touch of autumn turns the entire forest golden. #BBCEarth #EarthCapture #EarthOnLocation #BBC #Fall #Autumn #Maple #Tree #Season #HarvardForest

I was exploring St Michael’s Mount, in Cornwall, when I noticed these little swallow chicks (Hirundo rustica) sat on a wire between two of the island’s buildings. They still had some downy feathers and had probably fledged from their nest just a day or two ago. The parents bring food back up to 400 times a day but passing it can take less than a second. I focussed on the chicks and as soon as I saw the tell-tale signs of excitement my finger was ready on the trigger. I think that this is an image that many parents will relate to - it can be difficult when more than one child is demanding your attention at the same time. #Swallows #Birds #Fledging #Chicks #Feeding #Hungry #Children
