I saw the first swallow today! There is a big manor house next to my office and they make nests in the roof and walls of it, so there are always loads of them around. There were a couple flitting round the roof of our office and flying above the garden next door.
The French have a saying, "One swallow does not make the spring", but it's pretty springlike here today, about 17 or 18 deg, the cherry and other trees blossoms starting to peek out, the forsythia starting to burst into yellow and daisies are popping up on the grass.
Beautiful.
I wonder if they will stay with you or just have a look round and come up to us.
Here birdie.... come up to Derbyshire!!
Looking forward to their return. Their nests are waiting for them, pick one of them. Spring/summer begins with their arrival. They are my favourite bird and I am looking forward to their return.
:) :)
I saw a couple of swallows this morning - really feels like Spring here too with all the almond trees out in full blossom.
