chesterse Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 I saw a lone swallow whist out beating yesterday (Wed. 29th Oct). Is this unusual for the time of year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnphilip Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 There are the odd ones who don't leave for what ever reason , not sure they would survive the winter with little insect life . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 I had a couple about on the shoot a week ago, but also Fieldfares in the next field which is an odd combination! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really , if you had seen a Swift then yes it would have been unusual , ours is such a strange climate we have sat on the picnic benches in November in just a jumper and shirt on a shoot day while having our lunch and we had often seen the odd Swallow at that time of the year , maybe they hang about the East coast a bit longer before they start there journey across the North sea . P S ... By the way , did you change the clock Sunday by a day instead of a hour , as yesterday in Norfolk it was the 28th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
