Over the last few days, the first swallows have arrived back here in Pebworth after the long, cold winter. They skim low over the fields at the bottom of the garden, twisting and turning and expertly snatching insects out of the air. These birds will have spent the winter months in South Africa, and will have travelled around 200 miles a day, mainly during daylight hours, to make it back to Britain.
