We've not really seen swallows at the nest in our porch this year, despite the early
reappearance of a male. For a night or two, there was some evidence of someone nesting (that is, there were droppings under the nest in the morning), but nothing else. It's now coming to the end of the swallow's summer season, and they're starting to flock ready for a return south for the winter.
They've been doing this quite noisily (but pleasantly), and there was a group of over fifty on the telegraph wires outside the house this evening. They flew off a few minutes after I took these photos.
