I saw a swallow a couple of nights ago and thought what’s that? I’d forgotten it was still supposed to be summer

Just looking from my home office window over the last couple of days, had swifts yesterday, still always just a couple. Plenty of housemartins on our estate still. Saw swallows on my run yesterday.

Swifts still screaming over Hebden Bridge, swallows around the Rochdale Canal and house martins under our eaves 😀

Forecast to be 29C in Costa del Walsden tomorrow, Summer is definitely still here!

DT the problem is summer has largely forgotten it's supposed to be summer!

Premature swiftlessness alarm yesterday - the sky is a-screech with them today. They were obviously just having an evening off.

speaking of screeching, the buzzards seem to have started kicking off after silence for months

Two small flicks of swift (screaming), one raven (clonking) and about fifteen golden plover (looking like they’re sorting out an air bridge to somewhere more interesting than a featureless plateau near the Pennine Way above Keighley reservoir)

Woohoo, flying ant day, or loopy gull day as we like to say in North Wales. So funny to watch their antics, I always see the gulls going potty before I see the ants

DT, love golden plovers. Haunting call, as with the curlew - must be something which works in those open moorland habitats.

Plaintive, ethereal and evocative of open spaces
