Oh really that is very good to hear. I am in Barnsley, not seen any flying over head or anything. Looking forward to walking to where swallows would be around here and where I saw them last year, that is when the weather clears up.
House martins?
Ditto
Saw the first swallow ive seen this year the other day. Also a swift today flying above houses.
We had House Martins arriving yesterday and today and sounding very excited and checking out the nesting sights on our house and the neighbours next door, so hopefully they will nest on our house this year! Love to hear their excited chattering first thing in the morning.
Just hope we get some nice weather for them here in Devon this year!
My (W.Yorks) swifts arrived this morning-Late.And its a leap year! Much joy in our house though.
They often go to water when they return before moving to breeding areas.
Great pictures. After seeing a few swifts on a walk the other day, they now seem to have moved to breeding areas. A large number of them have been flying overhead and around my house all day.
Where were those photos taken?
