Swifts and sparrows

I saw five swifts today but they were too high up for me to hear their distinctive shrill shrieks.
This morning on the lawn I saw my first baby bird of the season - a sparrow chick being fed by a parent. Shame there was only one. Does it mean the rest of the clutch didn't hatch? Or perhaps this one was the first to fledge. I shall keep watch to see if I can spot any more.
