That's great news Russell. It's almost a week now since my first sighting of the year for the house Martin's and swallows in the north west of the UK. .. so by rights I would imagine that they have also reached the Netherlands. Keep us posted. Steve

Russell. That's great to capture the behaviour of the grebes and coots like that and to give the commentary as you did. Have you ever thought of becoming a narrator. ? Love the sunset pictures too. Steve

Take no notice of what anyone tells you.. Do your own thing because everyone else is. But the most important thing is that you Enjoy yourself. Steve

Surely that would be the 8 before 3........... Steve

Nice one Dave. Had a lovely Janie Grant west coast demo till I sold up a few years ago Steve

Never ever seen a Janie Grant issue. WOW. I'm impressed Steve

Just got home from a day out and about. Pennington Flash this morning then drove up to Leighton Moss. Seen and heard my first chiffchaff of the year along with a singing cetti,s warbler at Pennington Flash. But the highlight,s of the day had to be the 50 plus avocets at Leighton and the approximate 40 -50 house Martin's and 10 swallows. The earliest that I have ever seen either in this country. April 2nd. Seen house Martin's at the end of March in the republic of Ireland about 17 year's back. Will go through the pictures when I get chance Steve

Russell. Philippe is in France, I think. Steve

Manchester birding forum. Reports two Swallows seen today at a local to me reservoir. They must have been blown in on these recent Gale force winds. Earliest I have ever seen them in the north west is April 7th and that was last year. Steve

Stevie. Is it Butch Baker with it been Greggs Steve

Russell. Only in Amsterdam could birds passing weed mean anything else Steve

Nice one Stevie . Thanks for sharing mate. Steve

I was brought up in the belief and it still holds that DJ,s at nighters play originals . Soul night, never a issue for me but nighters its a unwritten law Steve

Why would I know Ian. I don't know everybody. Steve

Carl Douglas. Class record. Don't know if that's a good or bad price Outsiders. Time won't let me and Rain featuring Charity Brown. Out of my mind, so many memories of the casino Steve
