I have been away. On my return I see there has been some chat about swallows etc. I hope this information which I saw at at Barnes Wet Lands will help solve problems. I also saw a heron spear a fish. Picture attached. (Yes it was a heron.) Cheers John F-S.

Our first pair of swallows returned today – they swirled and chattered around the stables, diving in and out of the doors. We are always happy to see them and feel that summer is coming. – Patti B, Blanche Meadow Farm
