Whoop Whoop, WHOOP

[Chaffinch]

I cant believe it, I had a bit of a winge to boxtops, about the Swifts not arriving back in my eve's . Well at 7.00pm the first one arrived back, by 7.30 they were screeching up and down the side of the house. Three (or so) already in "bed" the rest still doing a spectacular fly by as on the Swift ca.

Soooooooooooooooo happy (yep I'm pathetic, but happy)

Enjoy......one of lifes special pleasures watching the best fliers making it look so easy

[Robinia]

oh fantastic, I've just this minute answered your earlier Q! You're not pathetic, that's how I feel every year when they arrive...and very sad when they leave.

Brilliant Chaffinch. Enjoy.

Thanks all above, I just love them, as Rowen says its such a privilage watching the worlds best flyers in close up!

[bensmum]

Great to hear they're back (it's not pathetic!) - will have to watch out here now. We usually have swifts nearby

[boxtops]

Fabulous, I'm so glad for you. We don't have many but they are shrieking about up there still. If we can hear them so loudly from the ground, it must be deafening up there. Your eaves are going to be busy for the next few weeks, let us know how the little 'uns get on!

[Chaffinch]

Bensmum, they should be down Shton way if there here in the Meon Vally Yeeh

Boxtops, they are so loud, my lounge is upstairs so they are right next to me!! I love it
