Just seen the first swallow of the year, sitting on a telephone wire having a good preen. I got the binoculars onto it but then it flew right over our garden and there was no mistaking it.
I only ever believe winter is truly at an end when I see the swallows arrive. Anybody else seen one yet?

Wow you were lucky! Not seen any here yet, but will keep my eyes open!

I saw the first one on 31st March, and there are more around now swooping over my veg patch and the pond. We are a bit further south though!
Didn't hear my first Cuckoo until about a week ago though, which seemed a bit late to me, and the first Blackcap singing only a couple of days ago.

We saw our first swallow on Saturday - seen a few more since too.
Typical - they arrive and the weather changes
