Two more today, though they looked as though they were fairly concertedly going south.

Yesterday was the first time since 15 August that I saw Swift (at least 3, probably more).

I ended with a total of ten yesterday, when they seemed to be moving through. I even had two in off the sea.

There was one this evening over my street, seemingly hanging around. I've never had them so regularly this late in the year.

At least 35 over Aberdeen Harbour just now. Seemed to be moving through, along with quite a few other species.

Had around 40 over the Eden Estuary and St Andrews Bay in very windy conditions on Saturday afternoon. The sheer numbers for this time of year seem very unusual.

At least 13 this morning, mostly north of Aberdeen harbour.

Still decent numbers for the time of year passing along the coast in Norfolk the past few days, peaking at 121 heading south yesterday. Not quite the late July peaks of 4500+
