Well now I think that my last update was a bit misleading. In it I implied that the swallows were still at the Hazler and that they were behaving in a strange way. Now I think that I was wrong and I think that in fact they were gone. I'm beginning to think that what I saw was a flock of pied wagtails. I saw them again this weekend still acting in the same way. But when they take off and go high in the sky they can easily be mistaken for swallows. But pied wagtails is what they are.
