A single swift over Wellington this evening near normal colony
First ‘screamers’ back in Rowbarton, Taunton. 4 seen together this morning, 30 April, a day earlier than last year.
First of the year for me with 2 over the cricket pitch in Butleigh yesterday, then at a regular nesting hole close by.
4 Swifts - presumed our front & back regular breeders - circling around our house in Street on 25-April, but after a few mins they flew off & not seen since!
First 2 Swifts also seen here in Langport this morning, 25 April. Checking out their nest sites. It is early for Swifts to be back here already, as with other parts of the county.
Lovely warm weather for them this week. Hope it continues and they have a good breeding season and find enough insect food to help rear their young successfully.
Think the local ones have now arrived. Group of four this morning.
One over Ilminster this morning.
3 Swifts over Glastonbury town centre this evening. The earliest sighting for this location.
