Looked out of the bedroom window this morning and saw a solitary swallow swooping over the rooftops

Such a marvellous sight after all the dreadful weather we have been having.

We had our first nest last year so I must make sure that the garage doors are left open to encourage them to nest again.

It's a wonderful sight isn't it

We saw our first swallow yesterday here in the South of Scotland, but it could have been ours, the neighbouring farm's or just one passing through and heading north. One swallow might not make Summer, but it certainly makes Spring!
Oh and @Dan we don't have a swallow icon

I think ours has gone north because we didn't see it yesterday or today. Although we did see one over the County Cricket ground on Friday.

I've hung on during my hibernation waiting and looking out of the window, they were early here last year, now we are entering the " looking to the sky " mode.
