House Martins

My local House Martins haven't arrived yet this year. They normally arrive around April 21st, so I'm getting a bit worried. Are any of you other birdie folks on here missing your Martins? Could it be the colder temperatures that are putting them off coming for their summer holiday?

Re: House Martins

I dunno about Martins but there's Swallows still here.

 

I'm just back from walking round the lake and two Swallows were swooping around, catching their dinner I guess?



It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

Re: House Martins

Our Martins have all gone...they went on the 22nd Sept. I wonder if they knew it was the Equinox!! They were getting fewer and fewer each day, unail the last day, when there were about 4 or 5 left, and then they went...that was the last day I saw them. I feel a bit sad that they are gone, but all being well they will be back next year.
