The first weekend in June has been a busy one for the pair of swallows nesting in the garage. This year they have raised six chicks where they would normally only have four of five. All six fledged this weekend which has resulted in chaos in the garage and all and sundry, including Spike the dog, being dive bombed on the driveway and garden by the protective parents.
The back of the Landrover proved a popular perch point for the young.
It is sheep shearing time tomorrow, weather permitting. How typical that we have had pretty much three months without rain in this part of Cambridgeshire, everywhere is parched and we need only one more period of dry weather - yet it forecasts heavy rain tonight. The crops and garden will appreciate it but the sheep shearer will not!
