Hi Denn,

Hello Denn I know what you mean there are still a few about up our end they better hurry before they get Hypothermia though the way the weather is getting colder here

I haven't seen any swallows since 4 October so I think they are gone from these parts now.

I saw Swallows here on sat with four feeding in Finstown. Then i saw a pair feeding at the south end of Harray Loch on sunday afternoon so there are still a few to head south!

The odd one or two Swallows can be seen right through November and in fact at least one Swallow over wintered in Cornwall last year.

I had three last Thursday and one on the Friday in Suffolk. I even had one in in late November one year at Southend so don't be surprised if you see the odd one around on your journeys in the coming weeks.
