Several each of Swift and House Martin feeding over Thornhill this morning.

Can we use this post for all Swift and House Martin sightings - particularly around breeding colonies - so that we can get a handle on their distribution in the area? Thanks.

Swifts heard over Croston village yesterday evening, a friend advising they have been around since 13th May.
Also about 6/7 House Martins over Home Farm Mews on Grape Lane where they have bred in recent years.
