Although it wasn't sunny, it was quite nice walking weather, so I took the dogs out towards Marazion Churchyard and back along the coast to The Cabin Beach Cafe.
Over the fields I spotted this large group of Hirundines (Swallows, Martins or Swifts) zooming around and making their lovely happy shrieks - sad to think they are gathering and ready for this big trip South - it doesn't seem that long since they arrived !

      They were late arriving this year - but still on time leaving - it's all about daylight. Not as many in the barns up at Trebarvah as usual and only one nest occupied in a garage where there are usually two, with a third nest just outside. Sadly I suspect last Summer was to blame !
      The Young Ospreys at the Dyffi in Wales will be very late as they haven't even fledged yet. Both mum & dad are great at catching the fish, so hopefully less daylight hours won't affect them too much. Sue
