Now for the Swifts. I can't wait to see them come back. To me their calls are the sound of Summer and they are certainly one of my favourite birds.

A good account of your rewarding trip to Upton Warren. Hopefully, it took your mind off other sad events for a few hours.

Are LRP's regular visitors to Upton Warren? This is a bird that I sometimes have difficulty seeing each year .... didn't see one at all last year!

I agree with you about Swifts. A few more weeks yet I suspect but there wheeling and screaming around the rooftops is one of the sights and sounds of summer days.

I see a few Alpine Swifts have been reported around East Anglia during the last couple of days.
