For the ultra keen Irish twitchers note that the Swedish ship Gunilla which left Iceland with 4 Cliff Swallows on board docks in Belfast at 10am tomorrow! It is taking part in the Belfast Maritime Festival over the weekend which takes place in the Titanic Quarter, its likely docking place tomorrow. In all likelihood it American hirundine payload departed the ship ages ago but you never know!
