Hi Simon,

During a wet summer a couple of years ago Swifts were entering a nest until 7th September. The reproduction process of egg and Juv Swift is worth reading!

Yesterday ( Bank Holiday Monday) around 1045, in rain but just before the onset of the heavy continuous rain there were 5 Swifts over Noah's Lake Shapwick together with a couple of hundred hirundines, mostly Sand Martins with a few Swallows and House Martins. The Swifts soon disappeared but the Martins continued feeding low over the water.

At least half a dozen swifts in the rain over the Huntspill estuary yesterday too, with swallows, but only swallows seen this morning (and 2 wheatears).

At least 10 swifts feeding over Shapwick heath this afternoon, after showers.

Single Swift over Glastonbury 5.42pm this evening after work

A Swift loitering around in the proximity of our House, Coleford, for a brief spell just now.

Same height as our Attic Window so seen very well and close.

Single Swift over Noah's Lake this Thurs. afternoon where the Osprey was still in residence
