spinach Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Not confirmed, but stopped the car whilst driving last week convinced a single swallow was resting . Never seen one so early but the bad weather can throw odd ones around I guess. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
