Swifts are back!

They always arrive the same week every year. Today it's the 4th of May. Last year, I think they came on the 6th or 7th (I must check). It's so glorious to see them again. The one I saw was beltng over the garden just above hedgetop height, then made a swoop and a curving dart up to the tree tops and between the oaks. Such aerobatics!

PS They arrived in Hillingdon on May 5th in 2010 and May 7th in 2009.
