Swallows and House Martins return


Swallows and House Martins return

Watching them skim their breast feathers across the water surface and hoover up all the may flys in the morning sun....The start of peak district hill in the background. A perfect start to the day.

I have seen few swallows yesterday at Raglan Castle. It felt like back home, lol.
Lovely picture Pimp. It's raining here in Wales. Let's not be that pessimistic - it's just showers and overcast, lol. Could be worse;-)

Hi Pimpernel, Gorgeous view, lucky you, to be local. Not a lot of water here, only the ever increasing water butts because of the hose pipe ban :((
