15 swifts, many of them juveniles, passed over Fairfield Park about an hour ago, having a good feed over the 'valley of future allotments'

Still a couple of adult swifts over Fairfield Park tonight, but the big crowds have not been seen for over a week now, presumed flown South

Big group of swifts around Larkhall an hour ago, adults and fledglings, seeing off a big sparrowhawk above the valley of the new allotments

... and they have been screaming. Wonderful, but one can't help but feel that 'end of Summer' melancholy when the swifts get ready to leave.

This morning we still have swifts over Fairfield Park, delighted to see they didn't leave overnight. Not long now, enjoy them while you can!

Wow. The Fairfield Park Road nest just fledged, 2 fledglings at least in the air, 8 in total, this may be their final showing before they go

I spoke too soon - delighted to say, we have at least one swift left up here, and it is still attending to its nest in Fairfield Park Road!

Interesting - our big parties seem to have gone, but the very wet weather makes it hard to confirm. Certainly ones and twos yesterday. twitter.com/allotmentwombl…

Absolutely spectacular swift displays over Fairfield Park in the last 20 minutes, 50-60 birds over the future 'Fairfield valley allotments'
