Thanks for all your lovely replies! I did chuckle when I read about the jackdaw & the false teeth, ruthann! Haven't seen the sparrows this morning, but Mr Swallow spent the night in the stable & this morning was sitting up on the phone wire again, twittering. It's funny, but I checked back in my diary and it was precisely the same weekend last year that he arrived! His mate came back the following Wednesday, so I'm hoping she'll make it OK this year, too. I'll keep you posted. K xx
