MEGA! CLIFF SWALLOW, St Mary's, Isles Of Scilly!!!

Found today by Graham Gordon. The Cliff Swallow spent all day around the pool at Porth Hellick until at least 7.30pm this evening and is the first record for Britain and Ireland for 15 years! There are nine accepted records of Cliff Swallow in Britain and one in Ireland.
