The Swifts have Arrived

[Mesquite]

I thought I heard some last night but they're definetly here now screeing away as they swoop through the air.

Summer has officially started for me

"My" Housemartins are having a great year, I'm pretty sure they're on their second brood already. They've repaired one nest and started on another, so that's three in total when we only had one last year. They even seem to be overpowering the House Sparrows at the moment.
I hope your Swifts do just as well Steve.
