I've just heard that hundreds of Swifts have been counted in only ten minutes flying off the sea from Africa at Torremolinas and heading north. How exciting is that?( I've put two nest boxes up ready but over the weekend a pair of Starlings have started to build a nest in one of them). Just can't wait to hear that sceaming call on an evening - then you know that Summer has arrived.

Excellent news :)
DO you have a link to the source of the info?
It's both what you do and the way that you do it!
You cannot fly like an eagle with the wings of a wren. William Henry Hudson (1841 - 1922)
Woooo Hooo !!! They're on their way & we're ready & waiting for them. Safe journey chaps & I hope you all make it. :0)

Hi mpiekp
It was via a forwarded e-mail from Edward Meyer who is involved in Swift Conservation.I appear to have deleted the details. Sorry!.
