hi
so excited my first pair of swallows arrived just after 3 pm today
this is the earliest they have arrived i think last year was much later
and we still have snow on the ground !
we have had swallows nesting in our stables for over 15 years now but in the last few years have not seen so many
amazing they come back all the way to the same nesting place
i just love them
I think there here in Bentham on the edge of the Dales, Damn hard to photograph though

have just got the hang of posting pictures on this site
hope you like my first picture of my lovely first pair of swallows settling into the stables
and thankyou for your welcome
Lovely photo of your swallows on the hay rack. I saw my first swallows today in York, down by the river. Spring must be here. My Dad has a stable/out-building & has swallows nesting every year. He hasn't seen any yet (I beat him to it) & says there haven't been as many over past year or two. Let's hope this year will be a good one!
Keep us updated won't you.
Regards,
Louise
