10th July 2022 - while cycling around the Land Settlements, Andy M was very happy to spot 45-50 Swallow, mostly young ones, lined up along the wires, busily preening in the lovely sunny weather. Clearly the first broods this year have been rather successful.

more muted brown-blue plumage of the juveniles
One youngster still trying its luck for a free meal!
