Hurrah, some hirundines

The first bird I saw on a visit to Collingham and Besthorpe this afternoon was a Swallow. Excellent! This was followed by another three around the site, and up to 5 Sand Martins. Other notable birds included a silent Willow Warbler busy feeding along the western boundary of Mons Pool, still just one singing Chiffchaff, and 3 Dunlin (2 on Ferry Lane Lake and 1 on the Silt Lagoon), but no Wheatears yet. Another Swallow flew across the A1133 in Langford as I drove back to Newark.
