    They are Swallows, note the red on their face and the forked tail streamers.

    Did you get them out okay Highlander?

    They are such handsome wee fella's aren't they. At least if they're in your house, they'll keep the beasties at bay - come to think of it, I could do with a few in my shack . Old stone house, so constantly chasing slaters/spiders oot!
