Still some fog around to the East Side but overhall it was OK.
Always look forward to your vis-mig posts. How you doing for House Martins? Strange that you never logged any? Most abandoned their feeding areas arounf my home yesterday (11th) but I have seen one or two today.
Thanks for the posts.

Hi Steve, So far I have not had many hirundines at all this year or for that matter last year as well, nothing like the previous years when we got quite good numbers. But the ones I have had so far have all been Swallows to press... I know others have been getting some House Martins and hopefully I will get them over the next day or two.. things are about to warm up, some of the Pipit parties are getting into the 10-15 numbers.... so I do expect a push anyday now.. Cheers for now, Bryan.
