Nancy (one of our members) was shocked to find that one of the two swallows nesting in her barn had become tangled and died in a loop of binder twine which was included in the nest.
Perhaps due to the dry spring, not enough mud was foundfor nest building.
So the message is, please collect and put away all the odd bits of twine from hay bales.
Swallows nesting in stables are precious to us.
