Richard's Gardens

A record of my final year at university......and beyond

Swifts have arrived!




Just back from a manic trip to the art shop for more pencils.

On my way, heard my favourite sound in the world....swifts, back from their wintering grounds in Africa. A small party of them in the sky along with some house martins. First ones I've seen this year. They really are remarkable birds, eating, sleeping and even mating on the wing, only landing to nest.

Cheered me up no end!

    I thought your favourite sound in the world would have been Jamie ranting on about annotation. How strange that you prefer the sound of swifts!
