@WriterHannahBT All gone 😒

They’re gone. I think they left 3 days ago but I’ve been holding out for some but two evenings with blue skies and no swifts. What about you?

@WriterHannahBT The swifts are back. Six black wheeling shapes screaming with delight

First bird of my day: phew. I had to wait ten minutes staring out of my hotel window. Finally two gorgeous jackdaws flew into view. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

@WriterHannahBT First bird, first blackcap arrival, passionate song, signalling his successful return

First bird of my day: the blackbird and his song, lifting me out of sleep and into Sunday morning as the sun rose. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

@WriterHannahBT First bird, the jubilant singing and tail shivering of a wren greeting the sun filled morning

First bird of my day: a female sparrow, cleaning her bill vigorously on a branch, slightly fluffed up, and only inches away from the window. We will live out today next to each other like normal. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

@WriterHannahBT First bird, 3 mute swans , huge and glistening white in dramatic flapping flight through the morning blue

First bird of my day: skylarks over the cowslips, the air becoming their song. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

First bird of my day: ‘my’ Dunnock in between the primroses looking pretty as a picture. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

@WriterHannahBT First bird, a robin bringing spring warmth to the grey morning

First bird of my day: a pair of blue tits feeding on the pussy willow catkins to the tune of earnest cooing from the wood pigeons. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

First bird of my day: Oxford pigeons in a peel of sunlit feathers flying over the cupolas and spires of my favourite city in England. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

@WriterHannahBT First bird, a woodpigeon, looking enormous, sitting contentedly on top of the feeder, surveying the grey shades of morning

First bird of my day: delighted to report that as I went out into the garden I looked up and there were a pair of Canada geese flying. I love watching geese fly. Always worth looking up. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

@WriterHannahBT First bird, male blackbird gleaming blacker than black in spring light

First bird of my day: a jackdaw in the mist, flying low over the village cocooned in a soft grey sky that is hiding the Spring. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

@WriterHannahBT First bird, male woodpigeon standing on guard while female attends to the beech tree nest

First bird of my day: one of the garden blackbirds chucking at me as we look at each other while his rivals belt out their songs around us. He’s gone now - back to singing. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

@WriterHannahBT First bird, spark of a blue tit in the morning sun

First bird of my day: the garden robin, puffed up in the cold of the hard frost, hopping around the anemones. I can hear a Dunnock singing in the apple tree. Is it ‘my’ one? #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
