Last Swallow of the year (1 Viewer)

[Nutcracker]

That's a phenomenon isn't it? Seem to recall 2nd or even 3rd broods more common in the far north? Mild climate helping?

Long daylight hours in the summer :t:

A good weekend for Swallow migration (> 100 each day), with four on Monday evening.

Still many seen today

Thought it would be slightly unfair of me to contribute from Scilly, since we are likely to have them until at least the first week of November. However I'd seen none in 10 days until yesterday, when 14 arrived. Today it looks like there are at least 50.

Yes we had good numbers on St Agnes today, and several around Porthellick too.

2 in North Devon this morning. There were days in Scilly last week when there were 100's over St Mary's.

Was in Cornwall last week, saw a flock of about a dozen or so at Rame head near plymouth.

Three Swallows and a House Martin reported in Bradgate Park, Leics yesterday.

A single swallow over my corner of North-east Suffolk this morning.

Still a couple being reported, up to yesterday at least, along the Hampshire coast.
Not by me though, I haven't seen one for a couple of weeks at least

I saw my last two Swallows on 17 October – and although it has been very mild, none since then (my local record is 28 October).

Very nice last Crag Martin of the year, Orkney... Actually now I think about it haven't seen one over the village for a while...
