NEWKID 27,041 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Normally seen a few round here by now and the house Martin's that come every year, I'd imagine battling through all the storms and rain has put them back a bit... Managed 4 hours today without rain, best day for 6 month! Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 21,198 Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Well not a Swallow but was up the garden last night and I noticed a blue tit go in the box on the house with food. Didn't even know they were in there as I never cleaned the box out these year because of all the shit weather earlier in the year. So theres a camera in the box which hasn't been cleaned so remembered where all the wires went and how to set the TV. There seems to be about 8 young, sorry about the quality but still good to watch live . Cheers Arry 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
