There was a piece on the radio last week. Concerns about all the swallows, swifts & martins. They hadn't (by last week) arrived back in this country in any sort of numbers. The RSPB guy interviewed said they hoped they were in France/Spain waiting for the wind direction to change to help them head north.
I've only seen a handful of swallows, one house martin and no swifts yet.
Thanks for the info, I saw a house Martin a couple of weeks ago any thought "great", they fly around all day making nests in the eaves and it really feels like summer.
Only no house martins at all now, absolutely none. Just a few swallows darting about, I can see one pair only from here .
