THE SWALLOWS

 Every year the Swallows arrive back at the Farm from their Wintering grounds in Africa.

This year a male arrived in early April and was finally joined by a female a week or so later. We usually have a few pair up here but this year only the one pair has turned up so I'm hoping they'll be successful  and I'll be seeing the chicks flying around here soon.

Here's a short clip of a male calling in early spring.

Like I've already said let's hope this pair is successful and we see some young Swallows flying about soon.
