Later she came off the nest and headed east, and within seconds had been joined by the male. (Had he been perched nearby - or flying high and unseen?) She gained height, they made a few playful stoops at each other, continued away gaining height until they were amongst Swifts.By this time they were a mile away and twinkled off in the haze.</blockquote>
