So pleased to hear this so many gnats and midges about we really need them and the house martins to come back we are lucky to get swifts that live with us through the summer in our attic they have returned for over 14 years now same nest each and every time they fly up under our facia board and into the loft and do nothing but screech the whole time they are in and out but its lovely to hear and see them and their new babies every year
