| 09/05/24 | Swift | Eling | 6 | P Villiers |
| 16:20 | A pair - possibly last year's successful breeders - flew into the existing swift box in my back garden, which has the old nest still intact, and didn't reappear for the next 50 minutes when I finally called it a day. In addition, up to 4 'bangers' flew through the garden, screaming and hitting both boxes, at various times throughout the afternoon. SU362127. | |||
