Swallow's Song
One of my current favourite pastimes when l get a spare minute or two is standing in the garden listening to the swallows.
l wasn't sure what they were at first, but l enjoyed their pleasant song as they perched high up on the TV aerials above. With the aid of my AA Book of Birds, l was able to put a name to them. On a hot, still summer's day the sound of their singing travelled for miles.
From early morning til sunset they have provided a musical soundtrack to the summer which has been just lovely.
Thanks, birdies!!
