Has anyone seen any Housemartins this year. They normally turn up around mid April to start their nest building under the eves, so far I have not seen any.

How sad! That you remember when the house martins arrive each year and for numerous years as well!

No not sad at all as I see them as a sign that spring has properly arrived. But there are certainly less of them this year.
