This is my favourite thread of GOT.
Saw my first Swallow yesterday, late this year.

That is late. Normally see them in the NE in mid April. Hours Martins mid May. You seen any swifts?

Wildlife generally brings out the best in people I find. I’ve been teaching my god daughter about birds, she’ll likely grow out of it soon but I’m hoping she’ll remember things and come back to it as an adult.
Saw a couple of House Martins last week, but no Swift’s yet. They’re always the last to arrive though.
The weather ain’t good for the fledglings - gone from a pro longer dry spell, to freezing at night and now very wet.
It’s come at just the wrong time for the likes of Barn Owls, as they fledge their chicks around about now. Their feathers can’t handle the rain, which means they can’t hunt and the chicks starve / the first born eats the rest of the brood to survive.
What the heck is this - never seen one before in my garden
It flies and was hanging around my fruit/veg patch. About 2 cm long.

Wood wasp possibly
Think it might be this - an american insect so not sure what it is doing in Ireland

Not a clue, but apparently there's over 9,000 different flying insects in UK, so good luck identifying that lol
