A group of c15-20 over Kilminning, near Crail today moving westwards, as if they had just come in off the sea (which they may well have). Also 1 bird an hour before, and a smaller group of maybe 5 or so a short while later. Steady movement of hirundines (including a few Sand Martins still) throughout today too.

2 yesterday at Irvine but, if they have any sense they will leave NOW! The rain has started again; we have redpolls and siskins on our feeders; it's February here.

After several days without a single Swift swept by this morning.

A couple yesterday, Friday 28th. I suspect the birds I see over my local patch are migrating birds as I rarely see a Swift during the breeding season.

Last Swift fledged from one of our nestboxes on the house yesterday, 31st August (I think). No sign of any today. That makes 3 successful nests this year, up from 1 nest last year. I think the first fledgling from the first nest left on 21st July, so quite a prolonged fledging period - I didn't even realise the 3rd nestbox was occupied until a week or so into August. No cameras unfortunately, so hard to know what's going on inside the boxes.

The Web cam in Oxford still shows at least one young in the nest!
