Greyman 25,173 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Sat watching the telly last night and heard the familiar squealing noise of the swifts, bit early I,m thinking as the misses runs outside to see the first arrivals, she came back in 5 mins later saying she could not see or hear them, meanwhile I rewound the TV program to the same point and realised they were in the background on the tv, Doah 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
