Following my Swift survey walk near St. Nicholas Church on 18th June 2026 and subsequent Facebook posts regarding Swifts around the vicinity of the church, I took the short walk up there tonight.
Success!
8 “screaming” Swifts seen moving through and flying east at 9 p.m. They were very distant and I probably wouldn’t have spotted them had they not been calling.
This is excellent news given the close proximity of St. Nicholas Church where I believe Swifts used to breed and where a nestbox project was recently approved.
I have added my Swift records to https://www.swiftmapper.org.uk/
