08:15 | We've had our best Swift season ever here, but today sees a MARKED decrease in activity. 5 screamers an hour or two later than usual this morning and apart from the odd fly by, not a lot since. Yesterday and most days since May we've had a constant Apus airshow around our house. I wonder if 2020 will see them leave a week or so earlier than historically normal, or today is just a low cloud blip. BTO bird track suggests this year is normal, so I suspect "our" birds are yearlings now fuelling up for their journey back to the Congo rather than monkeying about screaming at houses. We'll see... | |||
