Swallows, calling to each other, have just flown over my corner of London, no doubt going south. I wonder if they will end up near the Canada Geese that took off last night, making noises I have never previously heard. The sky was dark and the air was bitingly cold, as they communicated in a warbling, eerie pitch.
Today, the sun shone for a while but is now hidden behind pale bluey-grey haze. It feels like winter.
Funny you know, now that you mention it, I haven't seen any swallows so far this spring. Perhaps they are still on their way - must be, if yours have only just left.
ReplyDeleteI expect to see some pics of these London birds in your lovely back garden soon, Vanilla :)
