The swallows don’t always return and nest with us. This was recorded after an absence of two years and we were glad to see them back. Over the last five years I had noticed a considerable drop in the population form several hundreds to less than a hundred. This year there was thankfully an increase in numbers. This video was also a runner up in the Scottish Nature Video Awards 2023.
