    Default Swallows

    I was delighted to see my first swallows of the year today - two lovely wee ones, flitting aboot over the river in Halkirk.

    I know they're nothing fancy, but I think they're adoreable, and they serve as a nice wee reminder that summer's on it's way!

    On my way to work this morning on the road up to Weydale a single House Martin crossed over the road in front of me against wind and snow Poor wee sod not much food on the go just now
    Was just going to post if this was one of the first that had come back to Caithness

    The Schoid storm is living up its reputation as normal but the sun will
    shine next week
    Then wait for the May Gobs

    If its profound what was the name of the golfer and what did he find?

    Default Martins

    Seen a group of 20 or more at the boating pond in Thurso on Monday. Think they were HouseMartins.
