One swallow doesn't make a spring...

Dry and bright, but with a chilly NW wind and a few nasty hail showers this afternoon. Still not the most encouraging conditions for the arrival of migrants (why does this seem to happen every year?). But, a [Barn] Swallow at last, as well as 4 Wheatears, a couple of Sand Martins, still the 8 Brents, a Short-eared Owl, and whole load of frisky Shelduck.
