| Re: Swifts In South-East London
Sadly the numbers around me have drastically gone down. I reported earlier in the year that from where I live to where I work (Coventry to Leamington) I normally passed 4 colonies of Swifts and yet there were none this year.
Thankfully a few (less than ten) have appeared at the first colony. The next two colonies have not appeared and the last Colony (near where I work) has drastically reduced from the norm of 50+ to single figures this year.
Sadly, as aeshna5 has said, these Swifts will be departing our shores soon.
