The swifts are here. The last of that group to arrive. Swallows are already having great fun using the front yard as a flight training path and our car in particular for target practice.
Bluebells in full swing and leaves of the huge ancient oaks and sweet chestnuts are unfurling beautifully. I love to see the light shine through them, starkly cut out against their dark trunks.
