Yesterday as I was resting and watching the dahlias grow as the water
was on them a swarm of Swallows passed overhead, I've never seen so
many in all the years I have been here.
I would estimate 50 or 60 but not the best bird to count.
The strange thing is they were heading North East.
Do they know something we don't?
today there was a small flight of 6 or 7 also heading in the same direction.

We had a lot round here again yesterday, feeding and perching on
telephone wires. I can't say I noticed them go off in any particular
direction but they're definitely gathering.
