Please don't go!

Every year I look forward to the arrival of the swallows as it indicates that summer is on the way. They nest in our woodstore and sit on the wire chattering away which is delightful. In the evenings they fly and swoop really low as they feed on the insects in the air.
As the temperature starts to fall a bit and the days get a little shorter I don't look forward to seeing them lining up on the wire getting ready to fly off to warmer climes.
This little fella was on his own having a good old wash as I watched him from my desk upstairs.
I don't think they're quite ready to go just yet but it won't be long .... I guess summer has to close some when
