No swifts yet. Due to injury stuck at home, but has been great watching the swallows and house martins flitting around the fields, insect city at the moment. Their shift is then taken over by the bats come evening. Still waiting for a swallow to actually land in the garden. |

I’ve just been sitting in our garden and was surprised how midgey it was

DT, midginess is good for the birds! I've been a bit concerned how few flying insects there have been so far this "Spring", because without them a lot of birds will struggle. The change to a southerly wind must help.

Midges not too bad - but it's horrible hawthorn (st Mark's) fly season. I hate them - nasty black things!

Yay! The swifts are here! Tell-tale screech over the garden as I eat my breakfast.

Yay J2R. Love the morning screechy fly-bys! Thanks Rosehip, we encountered lots of those on our walk yesterday and wondered what they were. |
