Cuckoos, swallows, swifts and other migrantory birds.

Swifts terrorising our balcony!

I love to sit there with a beer/wine while they scream overhead!

Put up a swift nest box last year (not a great situation due to our aspect/geometry) so of course we’ve got swallows in the porch instead. Loads of swifts screaming through the town too as usual. No shortage of crevices in shonky old stone buildings round these parts.

Swifts in Sussex have been pretty active in the last week, tho little action today as it is drizzly.
Have managed to get some good pics, one screaming party of 29 up high, and some others on low passes over the garden. And this one just about to have lunch…….
