Swallows gathering

[A-daisy-a-day]

To-day over the cliffs at Barton on Sea, there were dozens of swarms[?] of swallows feasting well on the many flies that were around I suppose to ready themselves for the long journey south, some looked as though they were heading towards IOW and possibly further already, or is it too soon, It gives you a bit of a pang to think that summer is really coming to a close when they depart.
