Swallows arrived this morning, feel for them as its very wet and cold. A few years ago May and June were terrible. When the baby swallows hatched the parents chucked them out of the nest and all died. At first I thought it was just around my place but it happened all over the village. I can only presume the parent birds did this as they were not enough insects to feed them. What ever the reason it was horrible to see lots of newly hatched dead birds
