No sightings yet, probably another week.
A bit concerned that one of my customers has renovated her farm so well, that all the barns and out buildings are now lived in. She hasn't taken into account that the swallows will be coming back there (as they have done for over 100 years), and there won't be anywhere for them to nest.

that's called evoloution.

Saw my first one here (Alvecote, nr Tamworth) on Tues Eve, a singleton flying east. Saw singletons yesterday and today (same bird?) and briefly heard the merry farting sound of Housemartins as well. Any day now the numbers should be increasing but last year was the quietest round here for hirundines since I moved here in early '05. Hopefully get a few more this year, the sound of a Swallow is me favourite sound in the whole world
yeah, yeah, bloody hippy, I know....

I love to see them coming in and the Housemartins, but I'll be shortly ****** off when the car/faeces/bird interface starts again (everywhere!)
