Two swifts came screeching over the house today, I am hoping they are nesting somewhere close.

Still no Swifts in my vicinity. I cannot remember a year when there were no Swifts. There were fewer last year but still plenty to enjoy.

Coming back from the shop early this morning, a pair of swifts over the houses. First ones of the new season for me.

I'm sad to say I'm still waiting to see my first Swift for this year. It's not long since they were everywhere in my area. Finger crossed. :(
