Default Last swallows

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.
