Cold dank evening stroll to Ash Priors produce a flock of mainly 30+ x swallows, with a couple of house martins x 2 & sand martins x 2.

Finally, a single swallow over the garden in Winscombe.

3 seen in the Chew Valley today.

Two Swallows in Westhay village and another at New House Farm at the junction of Shapwick Road and Burtle Road. The 2 Egyptian Geese that have been in the area for a while flew over Shapwick Bridge towards Noah’s at around 12.00. Mr Bell from New House Farm, Westhay has seen them frequently on his land.

2 Swallows over Moorland/North Moor yesterday evening. Also my first sedge warbler of the year on North Moor during the dog walk. Wonderful sound of spring.

First Swallow over Butleigh today.

I opened my garage door today and ‘released’ at least 6 Small Tortoiseshells.

First one in Ilminster, too. Also saw my first Orange Tip of the year - has been a super day, though.

Two swallows over fields between Wells and Dinder this evening.

Still not seen any in Winscombe sadly!

My first house martins of the spring over Shepton Mallet today.

Finally saw my first swallows of the year this afternoon on our constitutional walk, on the edge of Shepton Mallet. Eventually saw four in all, including a flock of three together.
