"Then welcome, little swallow, by our morning lattice heard,
Because thou com’st when Nature bids bright days be thy reward!"
Because thou com’st when Nature bids bright days be thy reward!"
Thomas Aird 1802 - 1876

They also need rain and mud to provide the building materials for their nests. No shortage of that today as there was light rain when I walked the Aber path to the village for the paper this morning which has been followed by a lunchtime downpour.
The walk to the village is part of the Aber Path and leaflets are available at the beginning of the walk by the Kilmaronock Millennium Hall. It goes past the house and on to the Nature Reserve by the loch, managed by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH).
