pesky1972 5,413 Posted Thursday at 12:58 Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:58 Usually mid-April up here but the weather’s been fair if not still a bit chilly, so might be a few kicking about by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mitre 38 Posted Thursday at 21:57 Report Share Posted Thursday at 21:57 It's great to see them flying around in the evenings or sometimes earlier in day while they here I remember one flying through a neighbours open bathroom window it must of landed in the bathroom sink it was fine the fellow had to throw the bird up in the air to get it to fly as they have no legs really They Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Every year I find it incredible that they’ll stop off here on their way to the north. Some will stay and the rest end up where they were born. Amazing animals 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sussex 5,802 Posted yesterday at 14:39 Report Share Posted yesterday at 14:39 There was two big groups this morning, 60+ birds that put on a fairly spectacular display of feeding on the wing for about an hour . There also seemed more birds this year and a week or two earlier . It would seem they did well down in Africa during the winter . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
