Default Last swallows

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.

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!
