First swallow just this minute. It 'hawked' around the trees in the orchard briefly before heading off. Lifted the heart somewhat.

2 swallows over the yard just before last light yesterday here in Tipperary, they're probably regretting it now as we have had 3 seasons this morning, just not summer, I cant see which season it is now as the rain is too heavy!

Thay must have been caught by the wind if they've ended up here first!

First one this morning, thought I heard one and there it was overhead, happy days. Ludlow area. Last year we had a few travelling through and ours turned up a week later. Guessing this one is a backpacker!
