Garden Birds

Whilst I was in the garden today drawing a pair of frogs in the pond (mating), I was thrilled to see my first Swallow of the year fly directly over the house and upper part of the woods.  The seed feeders were also extremely packed with dozens of Greenfinches, Goldfinches and Chaffinches.

my first Swallow of the year, a very distant shot as it flew over the woods, it didn't stay very long so evidently it was only on route to a more northerly location or heading for an area of open water to feed.
