Always a good sign of spring, and summer on the way! I was just watering in the garden and Was delighted to hear their familiar racket overhead, high in the sky - only a couple as yet., we had about 12 last year by the time they left again. I have logged their comings and goings for the last few years, and they usually turn up about May 12th - spot on target!
brilliant I love swifts rescued one once had a chance to look at it closely fab birds I would expect the brummie bunch this week end earplugs at the ready
I'll just let the morning earlybirds know, as well - if you've not got 'em yet, they are on their way, the swifts crossed the Channel yesterday - hooray!
