Red-rumped Swallows


Not much "birdy" news at the moment (weather in Algarve is still appalling and looking to get worse for the next ten days  -  never seen so much rain, and I come from the Lake District in Cumbria!!), except that my Red-rumped Swallows returned on Friday the 19th February (my earliest record for this species).




I do not hold out much hope for their breeding success since an army of House Sparrows have taken over every available nest site.
