Still no swifts yet....

There has been no sign so far of our swifts returning, although a few have been seeing flying over the reserve/over the village/over neighbouring houses. We still live in hope but in the meantime, here's a list of our previous arrival dates:

2025 3rd May 

2025 11^th May 

2023 10^th May

2022 9^th May

2021 7^th May

2020 3^rd May

2019 10^th May

2018 8^th May

2017 10^th May

2016 6^th May (the first year of successful breeding)

As you can see, 11th May is the latest that they've arrived, so today's the day...hopefully!
