mooky Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I am in total shock. I have just gone into the garden and there was a swallow flying around. Last year it was 20th March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Fantastic ......How do they know we are going to have a warm period and insects will be hatched when in South Africa.?....I have seen telegraph wires weighed down with thousands of them in Feb/Mar in SA ready to fly. ....Nature is wonderful ...good summer on the way ?

Framboise Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Not here yet in 61, but last year I saw the first one on April 1st so I expect they're on their way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odile Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 were are you mooky? Still about 6ft of snow in Jura so our swallows will come a bit later I think!Here in East Mids it looks like oak will break before ash = a splash! Hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindolanda Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 They have been spotted in 14 Calvados, so the Orne should not have too long to wait now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odile Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 hope they will be welcome in your barn. They make a great mess in ours - but they are most welcome. Will be a while still till they get to the snow covered Jura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framboise Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 We don't mind them but they do make a horrible mess. Once new barn is built they will be able to move in there instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
