swallows

Large numbers of swallows and a few house martins flying low and fast over our garden. They came through in twos and threes.


This continued for about 10 minutes and then it poured with rain, so the swallows must have been racing ahead of the storm.

I often see house martins and swifts locally but swallows no longer appear to nest locally but I often see them on their return migration.
