Saw my first pair today at Rame Head in S E Cornwall. Is this a record?
Certainly the earliest I've ever seen any.

One appeared near the Lune estuary south of Lancaster yesterday! TBH I didn’t see it but the person I was with was an RSPB warden and he claimed to have seen a flash of swallow. Your post makes my more inclined to be believe him! Very early.

Very early indeed.

The earliest UK record I can find for this year is the 26th of February!!

Out on a ride yesterday, I stopped a short while at Congdon's Shop where last year there were loads of swallows nesting in the porch.

This thread title is misleading. I thought it was referring to another porn actress friend of President Trump.
