Have not deepened my understanding, but last week birds were still displaying frequently and chasing one another around in good numbers (few tens), producing the typical sounds over Klaipeda. This week I have not seen it, but can't fully check reasons because of bad weather.
I dd say that's different from the east of the Netherlands, where birds disappeared doing so the end of July.
Just when I thought it was safe to say they had gone from here, out of the murky sky this morning , appeared a single swift which joined a flock of house martins feeding around the front of my house.
My first post so please be gentle! I live on a road called Swallow Wood Road which suggests the obvious but I think the regular visitors are swifts. Anyway, this morning I have seen a large 'swirl' of birds outside, many of which visited the eaves of a nest. The birds could not all have come from the nest in question, I estimate that as many as 20 different birds swooped up to the nest. What was going on?
Are they Swifts? Anyway - Swifts or House martins - both prospect potential nest sites for next year before they leave (bit late for Swifts though, now - most went a month ago.) If House martins there should be mud-built domed nests in on the eaves.
