Here in South Cambridgeshire, I've seen my first Swallow (Sunday 5th April) and my first House Martin (today, Thursday 9th April).
Will be on the lookout for the Swifts next!
Anyone else seen any of these birds already this year? If so, where and when?

Unknown said:Well captured Mike, so hard to catch these super fast birds on camera. I'm still getting over the thrill of seeing the pair of swallows that usually perch on the overhead wires by our rental property on the ground for a few seconds yesterday early evening ! my eyes are bad but I had binoculars to make sure and no mistaking that banana shape, red throat and long wings !
I'm happy to say, it was pure luck, after taking many, actually, lots and lots photos.
