I had my last sighting *so far* of Swifts on Monday 10th but I'm sure that's not the last.

Had 50-100, possibly more over Walthamstow Filter Beds this morning. I think this is one of the last places in the UK to lose Swifts. I expect to see some until the end of August

The local breeders seem to have gone from my street in Aberdeen over the past few days, although I suspect I might still see one or two more stragglers.

 

[Farnboro John]

Just one out over Beachy Head yesterday morning, hundreds of Swallows streaming over.

One in N Devon this morning. It might have been 2, but only one seen twice!

So this evening 3 Swifts in the same place.

Perhaps jumped the gun slightly, as at least six were around this morning. They don't seem to be about this evening though so perhaps have moved on.

One this morning, at 1045, feeding at low level just over the trees in Peacock Lane, Holt. Presumably a straggler from elsewhere, since I've not seen any local birds over the town for almost a week.
