I also had 15 sand martins and 2 swallows between yesterday and today scattered at different locations between Lurgangreen, The Hermitage (where there was also a Long Tailed Duck) and Cooley.Saw a Swallow along the river Nanny today, It was flying amongst a group of sand martins.
Thanks FrankHi Dereck,
Seems to be plenty coming through at the moment, Have heard them at 3 sites already, six or seven birds singing on the south slope of Slieve Gullion this morning. My first sighting was on the 2sd April.
