A beautiful sunny and warm day, without the north wind which has kept the temperatures low for the last week or so.
The warmer weather has also brought the swallows. There are at least 8 roosting under the bridge, although the bridge acoustics make it sound more like 80. It is fascinating to watch them swooping, wheeling and diving around the bridge supports and under the bridge. It makes you wonder how there isn't a collision when there's a flock performing what looks like synchronised aerobatics.
The trees are blossoming, and the bees and wasps are out in force in sheltered spots.
The swallow is come! The swallow is come! O, fair are the seasons, and light
Are the days that she brings, With her dusky wings, And her bosom snowy white!
(Longfellow)
