First Swallow of Summer

We went to Aldeburgh this evening with the idea of photographing an old boat winch we had seen previously. Just as we were leaving we noticed a Swallow flying low along the beach, we watched it for a while until it flew into a shelter on the beach. We quietly crept up and saw it resting on this beam sheltering from the bitterly cold northerly wind blowing in off the North Sea, poor little bird probably wished it was still in warmer climes.
