That’s a beautiful capture! I haven’t seen a swallow since we moved here. I will have to see if any of them live in this area. We have terns at beaches and they are sea swallows, but I think they may live further inland. What a handsome fellow he is, too!

Yes, good to see all the business of these birds again. And some rain!

I never see swallows here. In fact I think I have only seen them in Scotland! Swifts and House Martins and Sand Martins yes, but not swallows.

How strange they are avoiding Cornwall, although numbers over the past 5 years have fallen dramatically 😦

I imagine they stay with you in Portugal year round?

Surprisingly not, they head south in the late summer like the English ones. It is just they arrive back much earlier.
