Let me proudly be the first. Two swallows in the shed this evening busy inspecting last year's nest. Welcome to the sunny south east, aye it is definitely better down south. They should make Donegal/Fermanagh by June!!!

For once I have to agree. Our swallows don't normally arrive until second or even third week in April. They were late last year. But whenever they arrive it really lifts the spirits.
I just hope OH remembers to keep his shed door closed. The birds nested in there last year - what a mess! We have cats and I had to rig up a screen door to keep cats out while allowing birds in. Good grief, that was a faff!
Greengage - while we do lose an occasional bird to our two hunters (the other two couldn't care less) our cat-proof feeders and 8 bird boxes (including a new one for the swallows) mean we have far more birds in our garden, including some uncommon ones, than any of our neighbours who don't have cats. Something we don't have, that they do, is rats!

You always manage to get in a good dart Keeks!!!
The fact she claims to only have agreed with me once. Do you know that last week I travelled over 200 miles to extend the hand of friendship to Fermanagh (and to cadge a mug of taaaaay in her coffee house) and she wasn't even there at the prearranged time!!!

| Can't wait for mine to come. Also the crows and rooks are really nesting high this year. We've always been told a sign of a good summer |
