They're usually well established in our old stables by now. Haven't seen a single one anywhere yet. Anyone else?
-
Could they be late because we've had a week or more of winds from the North, which won't have helped their migration.
Plus this happened in April...

We don't get swallows, but the swifts haven't arrived here yet.

I checked the hearing yesterday and realised that the local swifts are not here.

Thought about you today Alan, A chap was walking his dog near Stanly Park here in Blackpool and said all of a sudden the place was full of swallows.
Looks like they a tad late coming in.

lots of swifts here,diving over the field which has yet to be ploughed

Well the swallows finally returned on Wednesday 13/5. Never known them so late

Loads of swifts swooping above the oil seed rape in the fields behind our house, They may even be swallows but they move too fast for my old eyes ! The starlings nesting in the boxing under the eves have had chicks in there for a good 2 / 3 weeks now noisy little so so's the adult hit a bullseye yesterday right on my head when I was watering the plants !

Still waiting for our swifts to put in an appearance.

The swifts are on the Island at the moment so they are on the way to you. :D
