Didn't get to see any Swallows again today but I did get to see my first returning Hirundines of the year . Sand Martins X 6 at lunch time.
No photographs unfortunately, seen through binoculars at about 500 metres distance
Forgot to add that I saw a butterfly as I was driving home from Pennington flash, didn't get chance to identify it.

Thanks Johnny, Wasn't sure about posting it and I didn't really think that you would be responsible after seeing how you care in your photographs.

Thanks mate much appreciated bit grainy with pushing the ISO due to the awful weather and light conditions this morning but the lake was as flat as a mill pond.

Spent the morning looking for the first returning Swallows of the year. For the last two years I have been lucky enough to see them on the 27th March but today wasn't my time. This date is the earliest that I have ever seen them in the UK so maybe the recent bad weather has stopped them returning as early this year. Three Sand Martins did fly through

Only ever went the to the highland room twice. Couldn't see the point trying to get to Blackpool when I had enough trouble in 1975 at 16 years of age getting the 20 miles from Widnes to Wigan. Bus, train, hitch a lift , cadge a lift

Edwin Starr . Said on numerous occasions that the best thing he ever did to resurrect his career was to move to the UK where his music was really appreciated. without predujice

Moorhens fighting. If you look carefully you can see another wing underneath the nearest wing and a partly submerged body. They are so vicious towards rival birds fighting sometimes to the death
