33rd of my #BooksOf2023
Both uplifting and depressing, as you’d expect. Well written and packed with interest and information. Highly recommended if you like this sort of thing.

#Glorious rain y’day briefly slowing the passage of #Migratory #Birds !
Then a river of Birds! Booted & Short-toed Eagles & Egyptian Vultures danced through The #Straits as streams of European Honey Buzzards moved out joined by Common, Pallid & Alpine #Swifts!! #FlywayBirding

#Swifts, #swallows and #housemartins on this morning's dog walk. Great to see all three together when the swifts came down much lower than usual

The best thing about listening to #birdsong when I'm unable to leave my #urban home is the joyous calls of swifts.
Bringing in the bins just now, I was serenaded by a screaming party, hurtling headlong through the gaps between terraced houses.
They will soon be leaving the Northern hemisphere and, as every year, my #soundscape will be duller for their departure.

A superb few days of #Birding on our #Swift weekender tour !
5 species of #Glorious #Swifts - White-rumped, Little, Alpine, Pallid and Common Swifts all giving us magical encounters alongside Northern Bald Ibis, Rufous-tailed Scrub Robins, Isabelline Warbler, migratory #Shorebirds, Black Kites and White Storks crossing The #Straits and so much more !
Amazing #FlywayBirding 😊

Our squadron of #swifts hasn't gone yet! I counted at least 15 swooping and whistling overhead this morning whilst picking raspberries. It's chilly this morning so I think #tomatoes are going to be slow to ripen, and #pumpkins, many of which are now behind the aggressive 6' neighbour's fence sadly. I will shortly be making more jam. I wonder too whether I'll be wearing the rest of my #summer clothes and sandals this year.

It takes just under a minute to make a single swift brick that could house generations of migratory birds. So why isn’t it compulsory to install them in the UK?

I thought the little forked-tailed birds whizzing around in Eamonn Ceannt Park were swallows, but looking at the RSPB comparison, maybe they were house martins? #EamonnCeanntPark #HouseMartins #Swallows #Swifts

One of the key stand out highlights for our guests and friends yesterday was being literally enveloped in swirling masses of low flying Little Swift !
Here’s one just leaving the nesting #colony ! Little flying #moulting perfection! 😊

Had a lovely surprise (once I got past my initial fear of birds flying at me) when I opened the door to our our buildings just now & there were 4 #swifts just come of age who must have been in a nest in the barn. They all flew out, eventually, and are now flying to and fro all over our garden. Still trying to catch them in flight but that is proving difficult, of course. Beauties 💛 #Nature #BirdsOfMastodon

Salisbury Crags in Edinburgh is amazing of you want to observe swifts, they are literally swooping around your head! Getting a usable photo of them is a bit more of a challenge though…
