Saw my first pair today at Rame Head in S E Cornwall. Is this a record?
Certainly the earliest I've ever seen any.
EARLY SWALLOWS
Re: EARLY SWALLOWS
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.
Re: EARLY SWALLOWS
I agree that's early,usually second week in April in Lancashire area.

Re: EARLY SWALLOWS
I hear that they've been seen in Gunnislake yesterday.
Very early indeed.

The earliest UK record I can find for this year is the 26th of February!!
Re: EARLY SWALLOWS
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.

None seen, but the ivy was infested with squabbling sparrows!

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