Every year we eagerly wait to see if the housemartins come back to our property. Today they arrived - two pairs.
They have claimed two of the best "houses" that remained intact from last year. There are seven nests that have survived the winter - sometimes sparrows come and claim them, making the entrances bigger - but not this year.
We are always happy to see that they have negotiated the Sarah Desert, and avoided being trapped in Malta. They will be safe here for a few months. I hope we see some more.
And the first lilac has blossomed in the garden. It's lovely at the moment - untouched by any late frosts....
