hi
so excited my first pair of swallows arrived just after 3 pm today
this is the earliest they have arrived i think last year was much later
and we still have snow on the ground !
we have had swallows nesting in our stables for over 15 years now but in the last few years have not seen so many
amazing they come back all the way to the same nesting place
i just love them
hi alan
i am in huddersfield
has anyone else spotted them about here?
There`s been sightings around the Calder.I`m just up the road nearer Leeds.Mine not here yet.
just been out in the stables and the pair are sitting on the hay rack
must be exhausted
will keep updated hope more arrive
how do you upload photos on this site?
Great to hear the swallows are starting to arrive. I haven't seen any yet but always on the lookout!
Regards,
Louise
thankyou will try to get some pictures tomorrow
i think they must have gone up the hay loft quite a few pairs nested up there last year
Got our first Swallow here in N.Yorks today as well as Sand Martins.

Where abouts in N. Yorks are you Pete? I'm in York. Been away for a few days but definitely going to lookout for swallows tomorrow. I usually see them down near the river, swooping!
They have arrived in london.... Richmond park by the Pen Ponds yesterday and at wormwood Scrubs today.

Hi Marion welcome from us too, hope you like it here :-) That's brilliant to hear about your swallows, you're so lucky to have your very own little nest nearby! :-) Looking forward to any photos and updates, thanks for sharing
