No, really?  !!!  I didn't see any till St George's Day last year.  Everything else seems so late - reckon it's getting chilly in S. Africa?! ;D

Well it was a bit to big to be a house martin - could have been a swift?

That is amazing keef.  I love to see swallows and swifts, it is always a good sign for the weather.  They are wonderful to watch too and always make you feel good just watching them swooping. busy_lizze

Certainly verrrry early..... great, spring is on its way now,   apart from the sleet/snow lying on my car.

Have you noted your sighting in the Springwatch site?

;D ;D ;D
