Saturday 16th May 2020 – Swallows drinking

While so much of the wetlands is currently dried, caked mud looking more like a scene from a desert the swallows still find stretches of water to drink on the wing. Lovely. These are the first swallows I’ve seen this summer. 🙂

And here are a few photos 🙂

The tree looks in a bad way
While the water level is very low these plants are ideal for damsel and dragonflies larvae to hatch from later.
