Definitely gone from Alnwick Last three seen on Tuesday 14th - a day earlier than last year

Next time I see them I should be in our new house with a bit of luck

[IanF]

20+ around here still yesterday morning. That was the first day I've not seen the local House Martins though.

[Steve G]

Overhead a single bird with the local House Martins this afternoon.

[andm]

another lone swift , over local gravel pit with swallows& few h-martins

[tonyfenn]

Still at least one over garden yesterday pm

[Gill Osborne]

That's TWICE i've lied!!!!!! I was at work yesterday morning and heard some screaming outside
''Oooh swifts! They're still here!'' I said.
The customer I was serving just looked at me as though I was barking mad

[Gill Osborne]

Had a couple screaming up above me at 8am as I hung some washing out

Most have definitely gone now as this past weekl has just had them in small groups of around 4-5 birds. This year's youngsters?

[Ratal]

Still screeching up and down the moray firth along side house and sand Martin's. Swallows have young out sunbathing on the telephone wires this morning. Very nice to see.

[Kentbloke]

I watched a party of 7 heading out to sea, battling against a strong SW wind from the Point at Dungeness today. Their wings going ten to the dozen but seemingly only moving forward about 20 yards a minute!
Only another 600 miles to go lads before we hit Spain...

[tonyfenn]

Had one over my sister's garden this morning in Wimblington.

[Ratal]

Still present over the river Ness and firth shores. Swallows are massing this evening down on the farms.

[Nightranger]

Two over Elton Reservoir 22/8/2012.

[Trystan]

Just had a single bird yesterday evening over Linthwaite, Huddersfield

[Ratal]

84 birds heading south between 6 and 7pm, followed by 51 Swallows before rain stopped our watch.

House Martins and Sand Martins still in abundance.

[Seatallen]

One over the garden on Saturday morning heading south.

[Fozzybear]

One over my patch at Chelmsford in Essex about half an hour ago, I thought I'd seen the last of them so was really good to see one.

[Ratal]

Gone. SWallows and House Martin's still, shifts totally absent.

[Monahawk]

Just when I'd given up hope on seeing another swift this year, I see one still flying around over Monaghan town centre this morning. A very late record for here.

Si.

[Fozzybear]

Saw a few Swallows and a large group of House Martins over my patch here in Essex at the weekend. No swifts that I could see though.

[JTweedie]

Reports of swifts at Lochwinnoch (near Glasgow) on Saturday although I didn't see them myself.
