um 23 Apr 6:12pm, 23 Apr 2024 8,396 posts	0 um Seems I did catch one. Only just and 5 very blurred or missed completely pics! Now I worry it was a martin, although initial impression (And Off Roader says!) they were swallows (Puerto Calero, Lanza) Plus a cattle egret last night on the way to dinner, but, first in many years, no camera! I can't believe it. It was 10-15 yards away as we walked down to the marina/restaurant area. After a fairly long day travelling (think Gatwick with a BA system meltdown), I'd not bothered with the camera, just wanting a beer or two)
jacdaw 23 Apr 6:13pm, 23 Apr 2024 4,405 posts	0 jacdaw 2 swallows and a sand martin near Keswick today; not together. And a cuckoo near Braithwaite. I heard him calling, and hung around until he flew to another gorse bush to call from. Got quite a good view, without binoculars. No wheatears yet, though.
