Swallows

As we a due a heatwave next week, we decided to open the swimming pool. It's quite a big job as large metal sheets cover the pool over winter and they all have to be taken off. But my sister and nephew and my nephew's friend came over to help and between us it was done quickly. Now I have to hoover the pool (which I'll do tomorrow) and then paint the top. I was surprised that the swallows appeared so quickly, within 2 hours they were diving for bugs. All the juvenile swallows were practicing too, it was a joy to watch. I couldn't get a decent shot of them catching the bugs. The extras show some of the youngsters.
