I haven't seen a single one here on RT 73 in Rochester. Very unusual. And no Bluebirds either.

Swallows in Danby Four Corners about 10 miles north of Ruth in East Dorset
are already in the (7) boxes with nest built and eggs being laid, if I get
any more I will have to direct them south to yours. Nancy
