eleven days earlier than last year. It is always heart warming to see the swallows return from their holidays in South Africa. Our family of house martins have not arrived yet, but I am sure they are on their way. I wonder if martins always nest in the same place or whether their off spring come back to the same place.

things we are glad to see again

I can tell you the Black Phoebes come back to the same spot every year because they are making a mess on my front porch again. The mommy bird got confused a few evenings ago and flew into the house when the door was opened. We started opening doors and windows and she finally flew out the back door and found her way to the nest. It was worrysome to upset her like that though.
we don't mind the mess too much for the pleasure that we get from watching their busy lives.
Did 5 mile walk on Dartmoor yesterday and heard a cuckoo for the first time in years.
Spike & co
5 miles on your stumpy legs, v impressive. And we admired the Easter egg tree in your garden, but it was gone before we could photograph it.
