:hi: 6am this morning, and what a beautiful one it was. Within 5min's it changed into a photographers dream, with a cracking mackerel sky, the hue's and change's over the next 15mins was breathtaking. I finished feeding the tribe, came inside to have a brew, with the love of my life. And we both noticed the build up of house martins, so we did a count as they all started to settle on the phone lines. And this is our best count todate 150 :t: :t: we checked our records and this is the best count for 4 years. Just wanted to share this with you all. hope you had a good day to.

Lucky you, Bert - not one round here, yet when I was a young kid, there were dozens of them.

Lucky you, too, in another way... lovely to read "the love of my life". I have one too - since 1975. Ah, I've come over all sloppy.

Hi bert...

Had "a good 200 or so" whirling round our house in the last couple of days!
 
On the telephone wires near my friends today, we were treated to around 50 or 60 swallows, I thought that was a lot, it must have been amazing to see that many House Martins.
