Gulval: Swallows – the first brood of 5 took flight on 5th June. The fledged young were allowed to remain roosting in the garage for several more days and then left. The adults started their second brood on 16th June with another clutch of 5 eggs by 21st June. The first egg hatched on 7th July with the first fledging on 25th July. 4 had fledged by 27th July and all 5 awere airborne this moring on 28th July 2019. A very successful year to date. I hope they don’t attempt a 3rd brood !! (J Hawkey)
