I could have sworn I heard a swift screaming today, but it was in the same direction as the sun so nearly blinded myself turning to look in the direction of the sound! I stopped and waited but didn't hear it again nor see anything. Maybe I'm imagining swifts!

Hey KatTai!
Perhaps you're not imagining it - I saw my first four at lunchtime today :)
So pleased!

I saw my first ones yesterday too and they were around here again today too

Feeling More Positive :-)
I'm hoping they are back here, they are great birds and make it feel so summery! (Even if it did hail today lol)
I saw the first swifts here in Market Weighton, East Yorkshire, on 6th May. I heard the first screams on 20th May.They are flying low around the eaves of houses. Fortunately there seem to be as many as last year. I am pestering the Town Council to provide nesting boxes for them, because everybody's roofs are so well repaired these days.
I saw the first ones yesterday lol Though they were pretty quiet!
