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.

The swallows are making them ready to fly,
Wheeling out on a windy sky.

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!
