Two days ago, a singleton seen whilst driving back from work.

Of course, plenty more opportunities left. Coastal or wetland/reservoir sites, but home birds or randomly encountered birds presumably becoming less likely now.

Thanks Julie. A stunner of a bird.

A little surprised to see the Swallows today Dan. Heaps of Skylarks and Meadow Pipits as well.

Drove from St Mawes to North Devon today. 6 or so Swallows flew over the road as we approached the Rock brewery (sadly closed on Saturdays now!) and another further north. All of them were flying North!
