House martin's+Swallows

Just before lunch in Maes y Dre St David's I noticed a Build up of House Martins with a few Swallows - 20-30 in total - suddenly 50-60 then many more, well over 100.   Seemingly resting and warming on the hottest roofs in the area. Then in a blink they all flew off in a Southerly direction.
About an hour ago the same thing happened again - as I write this a few more birds seem to be congregating.

I have now decided this is no longer a local concentration but migration - a truly wonderful spectacle of nature
