We have had an extraordinary visitor! It is not uncommon to have a racing pigeon land when we are crossing the Channel or occasionally a migratory bird. However this little chap has been with us 4 hours or more. We assume it is a swallow. It landed on the deck, and has several times found his way below but is becoming very tame and friendly!
