I looked up and saw the first swallow of my personal summer.  Really cheered me up.  I hope one cheers you up soon, too.

They are a bit later this year, mind you, I'm not surprised with the weather we've had. They've been here a couple of weeks (southern scotland) but they are low in numbers so far.

I tried to catch a photo of this one yestarday on the canal, its a bit blurry

Saw a starling chasing a swallow  down the high street today seconds after its nest fell to the floor, luckily the nest remains missed me unluckily some of the dust thrown up went over my just completed 1st shop window & fascia job

I know little about this subject which for a Country person is unforgivable but I'm awaiting the arrival of the Nightjar.
It sits up in the wood trilling away like a fax machine. Fascinating!

[Llaaww]

They have been here for a while, one flew through the house crapped in the kitchen and flew back through the front door.

Today's joy came from one of the many rainbows I made with the spray from my brush.  They surprise me every time.

Sod the swallows damn things nest on my house every year making a right mess of my nicely painted rendering and stonework, keeps my mate a painter in a yearly job lol. Now i did think that maybe a 30ft pole was just the tool for making said swallows nests have a little accident but my daughter threatened to disown me if i hurt the poor little birdies.

Those swallows are probably house martins.  Swallows prefer to nest in barns, caves and other covered areas.  House martin cr@p is just as bad as swallow's, though

I also look out for these harbingers of summer and they are very late with their en masse arrival-have only spotted a handful and not a solitary Martin as yet

I've got 5 swallow's nests on my house - definitely swallows not house-martins - the crap that they drop is unbelievable

Swallow poo is unbelievable?

Try living on the coast. A seagull from height can cover the entire front or back of a building with one load or spray paint an entire car with doos.

Be unlucky enough to cop a low level dump and you are covered in it.

I once saw Squeaky looking happy.  Someone he knew had cancer apparently.
