There was one sitting on the telephone wire across our allotment site on Monday, it looked a bit tired too. It is the only one I've seen this year, likewise I've not yet seen a Swift (although I have heard them) and no House Martins either. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.

Swallows, like much of our wildlife are in severe and serious longterm decline in the UK and much of the rest of Europe. There'll be ups and downs from year to year, caused by many factors but overall, numbers are declining and, it the long term, it looks set to continue. Hedgehogs, for example, are threatened with extinction in the UK. There are a number of causes but, ultimately, it all comes back to a single cause - us. |
