Swifts. Where Are They?

[melv16]

I've seen only two flying around my local district. According to my local bird group, it's the same situation in their traditional nesting sites.
Is everyone else in the same boat?

So far, yes.

Pleased to say there are plenty round here in the Cotswolds, melv:

None spotted here either.... Hadn't actually thought about it until I saw this post... Oh dear

Plenty of low flying screamers over the River Kennet round here.

It's the same scenario with the bees. I'm sat in my back garden and there's not a bee to be seen. The beast from the east could have something to do with it?
