The swallows are back. I saw two last Friday (11/4). Usually these early birds fly on, but this year they are already investigating the nest they built last year in our neighbour's porch, and flying around the house (hence photo). I think this is the earliest that I have recorded them returning since 2005. There are some beautiful views now just before the leaves open and the canopy closes in.

Yes, we saw them just above Venterdon Farm last Fri, too. There are lots of oil beetles up there. Saw one with a pointed abdomen at Cotehele yesterday.
