AJLB 26 Jun 7:19pm, 26 Jun 2024 469 posts	0 AJLB A lovely evening visit to a heath in Bournemouth produced Nightjars churring - the memories will stay with me, hopefully longer than the mosquito bites!
Derby Tup 26 Jun 7:23pm, 26 Jun 2024 66,522 posts	0 Derby Tup Great stuff. There’s a site not a million miles from us. We really ought to go. Riding woodcock still worth looking (and listening) out for too
paulcook 26 Jun 8:16pm, 26 Jun 2024 5,461 posts	0 paulcook Six very happy, screaming swifts right now. Don’t know why but I find them a joy to watch. Almost like a better version of the red arrows.
paulcook 26 Jun 8:18pm, 26 Jun 2024 5,463 posts	0 paulcook In fact I’ve just looked up and counted 18.
Derby Tup 26 Jun 8:20pm, 26 Jun 2024 66,525 posts	0 Derby Tup That’s sadly a decent count now
paulcook 26 Jun 8:41pm, 26 Jun 2024 5,464 posts	0 paulcook Never noticed as many as 18 before at once. Certainly not in recent years. Though it was only looking quite a bit higher than normal.
Yorkshire Pie 26 Jun 8:41pm, 26 Jun 2024 15,676 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie I've had a good swift display this evening too
paulcook 26 Jun 8:48pm, 26 Jun 2024 5,466 posts	0 paulcook I keep thinking they’ve become happier with this sun!
J2R 27 Jun 11:07am, 27 Jun 2024 5,361 posts	0 J2R Definitely far fewer swifts around here this year, sadly. They're here but not in numbers. AJLB's post has inspired me to go out this evening and listen for nightjars at a local heath where they're usually found.
