Just back from a fr...eeeezing cold walk with dog but heard my first Willow Warbler of the year. No sign of Swallows yet, but how are summer migrants faring in other parts of the UK?

Down here in Berkshire they seem to have been flooding in over the last week. In my local patch there were Blackcaps singing everywhere as well as Chiffchaffs. I heard but didn't see Willow Warblers but I did see Whitethroats and my first (this year) Nightingale.
Still haven't seen Swallows although my cousin in Gloucestershire says they've just arrived some three weeks later than last year.
