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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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