Was a slight surprise to see them today with the winds very W / NW. These birds appear to be part of a steady trickle of hirundines through the country today. The winds will now drop for a couple of days which may well pave the way for a few more arrivals. Fingers crossed!

Swallows!
Great to see my first Swallows of the spring during my lunch break today. Seen skimming over the water at Grimsbury Reservoir (Banbury), together with a couple of Sand Martin. It's always a special moment seeing your first of the year, never failing to plant a big smile on my face. There were six in total, chattering away, even landing on the perimeter fence for a short while, before disappearing NW. What were probably a further 3 birds were cruising around there again, when I popped in this evening.
