Stop Brexit!
Another two for me this morning (different location to last two y'day).
Ten to a dozen for me today, southeast Northumbs; lingering & feeding, not migrating :t:
I'd assume they'll go south / southwest, but whether they were local breeders, or came from further north, or further east, would be interesting to know - there was a light SE wind at the time, not impossible they'd come from across the North Sea.I wonder if your birds trickle South or head out straight over the sea when they leave?
FWIW, mine on Weds were not coastal, though not far inland either (about 8 km inland; the sea was visible in the distance).Coastal sites will always get later birds, inland counties are always bereft, first, none here for a few days now.
That was always inevitable :-OHas the premise of the thread changed akin to something along the lines of 'last swift of the year'?
Still plenty of swifts here, I saw 100 yesterday !!!!!
Has the premise of the thread changed akin to something along the lines of 'last swift of the year'?
Probably :-0 but that is useful, otherwise they kind of slip away and nobody knows exactly when they leave
