j davies 8 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 No, no, haven't seen any yet. Someone on the angling forum says there's Mackerel caught already, which got me thinking about another sign of Summer. Normally around here I see my first Swallow on the 11th of April but because it's been so mild (and them beauties are already on their way) I will predict I'll see one on the 9th. What's your prediction folk ? I have seen swallows in north wales since 18 April 2 days earlier than last year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
