Swallows - lack of

 I'm out & about for a couple of hours most days round Dinas & the estuary at Newport. In the last 10 days I've seen 1 (one) Swallow. The Bird Track reporting rate for Pembs (& Wales) is well down on the norm. There seems to have been no real catch up from the cold Spring delayed migration.

But the first juv Black Headed Gull arrived at Newport yesterday.
