    HI all

    House martins arrived back early this morning about 20 of them, next door a rare bird LOL house sparrow has taken up residence in the old HM nest from lastyear so bit of fight going on but I think the sparow won as it was attached to the tail of the house martin last time I saw it..

    So quite a gap with the swallows a good couple of weeks and still no swifts yet but I heard bad weather in Spain etc so maybe thats why ?? .......
