Have not had a great day today with a migraine sending me bedward this afternoon. I came to to hear a huge cacophony coming through my open bedroom window. On inspection, as you can see from the picture, (albeit sideways) all the house martins who have nested and bred here over the course of the summer are getting ready for their long flight south. Nature never ceases to amaze me, how they know when to come, where to come to and reuse nests, and then the point at which they know they have to depart again ....... all signals that the year is galloping on even more quickly than I can possibly get my head round. Note to self......... Put house right side up then order logs and coal tomorrow !!!!
