Swifts

Lade - 0800hrs - mild, cloudy, nw 3 - A decent catch in the garden moth trap last night with Cypress Carpet new for the year and the first Dark Arches. With the wind swinging round overnight, and rain in the air, a large party of Swifts were feeding over the willow swamp along with House Martins and a single Hobby. Otherwise it was pretty quiet and with the rain arriving around midday the afternoon was spent catching up on long over due articles.
