User's notes
Several Welcome Swallows were flying around the main pond. They were giving a marvellous display of aerobatics when they were flying. I really liked the swallow on the post. There was an insect buzzing around it and the swallow was following the movement of the insect intently, although I am not sure if the insect became a meal for the swallow.
