  • First swallow of the year!

    Last nights we heard the first frogs/toads of the year - this lunch time it's the first swallow!

    I think Nature is telling us Summer's nearly here folks!

    Poor thing. It came through here on 28th March - taken a while to get up to you!
    Two cuckoos shouting at each other yesterday, so I think you may be right. Not to mention the 31 degrees

      On a rough calculation that's 28 miles a day with a strong , freezing cold NE headwind!

            I saw my first swallows last week, they were zipping about in a freezing easterly wind, I bet they were wishing they'd stayed in Africa.
