    First one here yesterday too! The first to arrive is traditionally known as Billy - until its mates arrive too!

      Our "Billy" arrived a couple of weeks ago but now his mates have arrived along with a couple of "Belindas" and they are investigating the outbuildings for potential nesting sites already!

                We met a Billy today. Ruddy noisy thing; I wanted to rehome him, but I would need a log cabin in the middle of nowhere

                I look forward to seeing a swallow - we don't get many round here, just woodpigeons & gulls

                    This morning Billy was joined by - a green ring-necked parakeet! I know they are breeding in the south but we don't generally see them up here. Could have been blown up in the recent high winds - or followed the swallows? They don't half make a racket, don't they?

                      Yippee! My first swallow sighting this year.

                      11.50am : 6 swallows arrived! All checking out their old nests from last year. Isn't nature wonderful!
                      A good beginning is half the work.
                      Praise the young and they will make progress.

                        Our Billy arrived on Sunday. According to a neighbour (who can't remember what he had for dinner yesterday) that's 2 days earlier than last year! He notes it in his diary apparently - sort of thing I wish I did, but never do!

                          No swallows in Tooting

                          Afraid they haven't flown into Tooting yet but I did do a spot check on what birds were about this morning and have put the results up on my blog if anyone is interested....

                              Trousers and I are going to be proud parents this year, because our Funny Farm Swallows are newly nesting in our shed?
