damashaman 1 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I heard the willow warbler yesterday, has anyone seen a swallow yet? Usually about now you get them. Wondering when the summers finally going to start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trappa 518 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Saw a swallow last week hen out with the gun (north yorks). Quite pleased as im usually last to see them. I presume those further south will have seen some even earlier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alimac 882 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 no, but saw our first osprey of the year yesterday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Oddly enough, ten minutes ago I saw what I took to be a Willow Warbler / Chiff Chaff. I was carrying my rifle but didn't even think to stop and scope it. Just accepted it as I have them here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deek 0 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Saw my first swallow today at work, give it one or two weeks and there will be hundreds of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) Havent seen swallows in Northumberland yet, but on April 13th I saw a pair of them near Brighouse Bay, Dumfriesshire. Edited just to say, its a good job the swallows and martens havent come here yet, hard frosts and snow! Not a lot of insects about.
