..with Lol Middleton this morning. Pretty quiet with nothing of note out to sea. Highlights were 2 Adult Peregrines with one juvenille. Bit of practice ‘passing’ going on and then the juvenille spent 30 mins chasing everything in sight but not getting near! Nice to know they have been successful breeding. Also 200-300 Swifts heading south (or maybe the same group of 10-15 going round and round in big circles) and a dozen or so Sand Martins also heading in a southerly direction. Not a great deal in the bushes or at Lavernock church.
About 20 swifts flew over my house on Tuesday – not the usual feeding or socialising behaviour, so I think they were probably young, non-breeders heading off. They were heading south east.
