The House Martins have arrived!

Finally! Four House Martins flying around late this afternoon. The swallows have been around for at least a week. I guess they have all been delayed due to the bad weather that has been hitting France and the UK in the last number of weeks.

The garden has numerous nests. At least two blackbirds - one in the summer jasmine and the other, surprisingly low down, in the clematis and purple Vitus (vine) - with frequent territory wars on the lawn. Pruning and tieing back are on hold for a few weeks! Sparrows are nesting everywhere I look (caught one taking nesting material from one of the blackbird's nests!). Not sure where the Robins are this year.
