ard mhacha....I'm in a great mood today!!

The swallows returned to Loch Fyne in Argyll this morning.
I was lying in bed about 6 o'clock when I heard them chattering on the gutters outside my window.
I ran downstairs ,opened the front door and they were inspecting the nests they had left last Autumn.

There are four nests in my front porch and the swallows have been using them for about twenty years . Whenever they return they set about cleaning out and repairing the old nests and usually manage a couple of broods per year.

Its lovely to open the front door as darkness falls in late Summer, to see half a dozen wee heads looking at you from each corner of the porch.
By Autumn there's shit everywhere,but who cares ...were only here for a blink..so live and let live I say....Ake
