The temperature has now plummeted 15-20C and it&#8217;s rained! The hazy dusty warm weather due to farmers ploughing the dry land (a month of drought) in combination with the arrival of Saharan dust and pollen laden air is replaced with a heavy snow warning, although it&#8217;s unlikely to be a frost here on the coast. So, those swallows are in for a shock!!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21873 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Forecast-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Forecast-300x170.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Forecast-768x436.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Forecast.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 790px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-21872-1\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Swallows.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Swallows.mp4\">http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Swallows.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 790px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-21872-2\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Swallows2_010519.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Swallows2_010519.mp4\">http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Swallows2_010519.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was woken this morning to the sound of swallows (l\u00e5vesvale) outside and a flock of some 15-20 birds were feeding low over the tree tops encouraged northwards [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[21,2843],"tags":[1535,500,1534],"class_list":["post-21872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-birds","category-weather","tag-lavesvale","tag-snow","tag-swallow"],"views":2085,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21872"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21872\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21879,"href":"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21872\/revisions\/21879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
