i love the link to the swallows and lucky for me i get to watch swallows all day
i have them nesting for the first time on the side of the house. they boys have loved watching mum and dad each evening catching bugs for the young. i am going to miss them when they fledge but it has been great and hopefully they will come back next year

Hi blossom, we had House martins nesting above our bedroom window at our old flat, lovely to see but don't half make a mess on the window...They came back each year so hopefully your swallows will..

CRIKEY CROCS RULE!!

Hello ILS love the link! Good day blossom.
In Mission San Juan Capistrano in California they have a festival each year celebrating the return of the Swallows. Scroll down and it will give you the history of this ancient celebration...pretty pictures also.

Bob Katter calls for guns to fend off crocodile 'plague'..

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22023875-5011761,00.html

CRIKEY CROCS RULE!!

Ok I have to wonder how many people whould end up killed or injured from gunshot wounds? A lot more then injured by a Crocodile I would venture to say..allowing people to carry guns and fire at will, is lame! Sounds like Mr.Katter
needs a refill on his meds.

This isn't the best story to read but I thought we should all be aware of it....

I just hope that with Steve gone Terri becomes his voice...

CRIKEY CROCS RULE!!

This is disgusting what they want to do. I hope they see sense and don't allow them to hunt croc's. I am sure Terri, Wes and Bindi will be Steve's voice. They should put it to an international vote and see how many oppose it.

Wasn't sure where to put this....
