first swallow

[bobh]

Just seen my first here, quite surprised this far north. Felt sorry for the little fellow as there's very few insect for him to eat

Saw my first swallow yesterday:001_smile:

Not seen any yet but the earliest we ever saw was in 1980 or '81 on 15th March - watched a solitary one for half an hour or so skimming our local outdoor swimming pool which wasn't cleaned during the winter months then

First of the season seen in SE Cornwall this morning! Straight to the shed door to get into last years nesting spot. All on his own it seems, the rest of the gang will be along shortly....

Well, 3 weeks on, the gang hasn't arrived! Saw another single bird yesterday but the masses are still absent.

 

Anyone else got the gang in situ yet or just a few individual birds??

I saw our first Swallow about two weeks ago perched on the tv aerial and have seen a couple on phone wires while out walking but not seen any quantities and still waiting to see a Swift, that's when you know it's warming up.
