Observation details
The feather seemed to be part of a courtship ritual. There was a pair of swallows interacting. The bird with the feather flew out from his perch, flew around and back again without dropping the feather. He repeated that several times. One time, when sallying out, he dropped the feather but quickly flew down and caught it again. The other bird sat on her branch and watched his antics. Then they did some chasing.
