On a wonderful late summer's evening, there are still lots of swallows
around here!

Went for an evening's walk along the coast at Whitburn Bay (near Sunderland,
Tyne & Wear) and there were loads of them swooping around across the flat
calm North Sea.

Maybe they had stopped for a break, en-route from Aberdeen to South Africa!

That's interesting, David. I won't say swallows have all gone from
Aberdeenshire, but they certainly seem to have gone in my neck of the woods,
although it is quite rural.

I thought yesterday that there seemed to be more swallows and house martins
than I've seen all summer. Maybe they have been moving south and hanging
around the coast here before their crossing to the Continent?

I suspect it won't be long now before the evening skies will be lacking of
their wonderful acrobatic flying.

The swifts left here during the 3rd week of August.

That seems very hard to swallow, have you tried counselling?
