I heard them first from inside (me not them) and ran outside!
Goodness, haven't moved that quickly for yearsgrin
Isn't it the most exciting thing!

Where are you ? , no sign of them here yet
Our local nesting area has had to be demolished a few years ago but the swifts still came

Apparently the swallows and house martins have been back here for a few days, although I haven't seen any yet. We're in north-west Durham.

I love them. They appear all over the place in all different countries.

I expect they will be sporting woolly jumpers, hats and scarves (if they have any sense!)

They’ll need them here. The wind is freezing cold.
