Two more swallows this morning. This time over the playing fields. Just a stones throw from home, with a strong arm.

We usually have some returning Swallows/Martins in April in Dumfries & Galloway. So far nothing.

I have seen reports of Swifts being seen but I don't usually get them here until around the 10th of May.

I saw 6 Swifts this afternoon. I had heard the screaming during the morning but I couldn't see any.

I think my Swifts have departed for their journey to Africa :( . Roll on next May when they return. :nod:
