Swifts Galore

Swifts, bird of the day

Swifts were piling over the garage at Queensbury between 1300- 1500 hrs all >SW with around the 200 mark. Too early for any movement yet so probably just a feeding party skirting around the black skies but spectacular to see. Several over the trees around Foxhill this evening making the best of the still muggy skies.
A nice surprise today for HC when a Red Kite flew 40 ft above his head at Fly Flatts, wow!
