Swallows

Is it just me or is there a glut of swallows around this year. I daily walk around Roath ParK Lake in Cardiff, a medium sized lake of 1.25 miles circumference. This time of year I would normally see about half a dozen swallows flying over the lake. The last few days there have been about 100 of them. Is this increase replicated elswhere or is it only a local increase.

There have been more over the fields and brooks this area.Several fields have been left looking like meadows which no doubt will be cut soon.

The swallows have now dissapeared, only to be replaced by swifts although not as many, only about 30 in total. 01/06/11
