Almost Wordless Wednesday: House Martins

I’d forgotten about some house martin photos I took in July at the Barrowburn Tea Room in Harbottle, Northumberland.  This seems as good a time to use them as any – before summer slips away completely along with the swifts, swallows and martins.

I’ve seen plenty of martins here in Sussex recently on their way back to Africa for the winter.  Perhaps even these Northumbrians have passed overhead too?
