Birds
I wrote about the swallows a little while ago. Things have moved on. They aren’t back yet but about a month ago, some other breed, not sure which, cos they fly so fast, nested in the vent for the kitchen fan. It’s pretty long, about 8 feet, so once we heard the cheep cheeps from the fan and noticed the pile of nest building material under the hole in the wall we realised it was going to take a major job to get them out. How would you know they were out before you put wire over the entrance? Couldn’t cope with that. Anyway, then apathy set in and now it’s too late because the eggs are probably laid now.
I don’t mind really but it does make me reluctant to switch the fan on because they wouldn’t like the noise or the draft. I’ll have to start focusing on what kind of birds they are. If they are going to nest in my fan-vent I should at least know who they are.

The birds nesting will be Swifts or Housemartins, I’ve no idea where allthe swallows are,they should be here by now. Maybe they decided to boycott Ireland after the shame of John Waters eurovision debacle
