Gathering
We noticed today that migratory birds are gathering. This afternoon there were a lot of them on the wires. We thought at first these were House Martins as we do get a lot round here and can watch them in the evening from the conservatory as they fly around catching insects . . . or young ones playing/practising.
When we looked at the photos however we realised that these were Swallows. They were in small groups but Gordon calculated that there were at least 70 of them. It will be a while before they set off for Africa - I suppose it’s a bit like being in the Departure Lounge, but at least they have full flight control!
