This is the resident swallow in its nest in the garden tool room. (click on image for Oddie like quality) Or is it a House Martin? . The wife will know. Most of its sisters are nesting in the eaves directly above our windows which are slowly becoming opaque with bird droppings. And as long as they are in residence no window cleaner is allowed to darken our airspace. So it will become increasingly dark with an eerie dim white light until late October and as global warming heats up the bloody birds may never go at all. Whats the point of flying South when they enjoy a southern climate all the year round
