More to follow later but just to say that a huge swooping Alpine Swift graced the resrve this afternoon for a few minutes before climbing high into the clouds! Amazing!
The very happy (and very lucky) Alpine Swift team! Includes a vagrant seen on a previous visit to the site...
Jonathan Wasse also saw it and took the photo... he was also happy!
Note the new Purfleet Hide in the background.... Fingers crossed but a few tweaks and it will be open...
This is the one that we had last April on the 5th... could it be the same bird overshooting mainland Europe once again??
