It's been a wet summer all across Scotland, but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of John McGruther, who's been out and about in Glasgow's Pollok Park since June.
Meeting loads of people in the park's visitor centre, John has had great fun giving everyone a special insight into the lives of the swallow families that nested nearby.
In August, John ran a very popular stall at the Pollok Family Fun Day, and also attended the Glasgow Show, where the focus was on another of our summer migrants - swifts.
Thanks to everyone who helped us raise an impressive £600 over three months by buying a pin badge, the proceeds of which will go to fund our projects around Scotland, and the world.
As we say goodbye to swallows flying off to Africa this month, we thank them for our brief date, and look forward to renewing our acquaintance with them next year!
