Just seen the first swallow.

Apparently some may not even have left, because of the mild winter. They're not usually here until May. I wonder if the swifts will be early this year, they usually arrive on May 4th.

is it swifts or swallows that don't have claws on their feet and never land.

Gordon I reckon you do work for Amazon cause this is another reference to Swallows and Amazons ! HA. CB x

You are very lucky, especially kites. All I have seen is a rat hole today and dive bombed by 4 robins. I did try and save some worms though , not for me for worm conservation. CB

Me too Gordon, about 1.30 this afternoon, I spotted them, they must have just arrived, how do they do it, May 4th almost every year, it's a special moment in my calendar 😊

It does amaze me how they know when it's going to be warm enough to fly all that way.
Do you think one comes over then flies back and shouts NOW.
