    We saw three swallows in North Notts today. I thought they were early. maybe they came up on that saharan wind we had a couple of weeks ago.

    Haven't seen one myself as yet but a customer saw some at the local allotments on Monday (S. Glos).

    Plenty of bats out and about though!

    Swallows will return to the very same barn where they nested the year before.Likewise Arctic Terns will nest within 2 metres on the same stretch of shingle of where they nested the year before.How amazing is that?
