Swifts come here on holiday and to have their babies. Sad innit

Not seen any swifts here yet, at least a week late.
Did you know that once a swift leaves its nest in August it migrates immediately to Africa where it overwinters, comes back here the following year and back to Africa again and never lands once in those two years... just eats and sleeps on the wing ... An amazing bird
