Still swifts (birds)

Migrating swifts only stay in the UK for a few months to breed. 

Most have flown south from here by August.

They were still around in the skies overhead when we had coffee outside just now. 

I am pleasantly surprised by the numbers holding up. Numbers have fallen in the last 30 years and they are on the RSPB's red list of endangered species.
