A single swift over Wellington on Tuesday (10th) near the usual nests, but heading in direct flight south, so not sure if it was a local, or passing through from further north.

A final swift over central Frome on the morning of Friday 6th September.  Any others later??

A small group of swifts at Kingweston, near Charlton Mackrell this morning. They were over open country, so presumably migrants, not local birds.

Yay!  2 swifts over central Frome last night around 6.30, with hirundines.  I keep watching the sky!

3 this morning over the cheddar res’

And 3 over central Frome again on Thursday 29th.  Perhaps the same 3 as Tuesday 27th?  Let’s see if they are still there in September?

Three Swifts still lingering over Chipstable (29Aug).

Fully 10 days later than the 2014 record here.  Will they make it to September…?

I really thought Thursday 22nd was it, then I saw 1 swift over central Frome this morning, Monday 26th!

And another 5 over Frome, to add to the diminishing tide of sickle-birds in our skies.

1 over Wyndham Park Yeovil early afternoon, 4 mid afternoon and 1 early evening.

3 Swifts together over Catcott Lows this morning during rain showers as were many House Martins and quite a few Swallows.

6 over Frome centre Sunday morning, then one mid-morning today.

At least two on my commute home today North of Ilchester at 1pm .

I had thought I’d seen the last of them. I have noted that an extreme date for them at Portland was 13th September in 2018 .

5 or 6 over Butleigh High Street yesterday afternoon.

Three swifts in Cheddar yesterday evening
