Last Thursday I saw the first Swallow this year on the way to Northiam in East Sussex and since then I've seen several more! With the weather as it is, it really feels as if one Swallow does make a summer!

Then today I saw three House Martins above the roofs of my neighbours' houses! I thought they were passing through, but I heard the familiar summery sound of them calling and saw them a few minutes ago feeding high up! It's great news, the rest should follow on soon?

Any one else returning House Martins yet?
