It can be really hard sometimes to get good shots of House Martins or any Hirundinidae in flight, as they are so quick. #birds #birdsofbluesky #Hirundinidae #SummerMigrants #mypatch #ukbirds #CheshireUK

The swift's will be feeding their young up ready for the long flight south.
Sadly no swift's locally here, just one passes through early May.

Yesterday it was a Little Tern, today a Quail, which could well revive. I put in a place of safety & will go back later to see

One last shout for these guys, a mix of barn swallows and either housemartins or sandmartins, feeding up ready for these long flight south.

I admire these housemartins, swallows, sandmartins & swift's for quick they mature sufficiently to migrate the otherside of the equator.

At the apex of the summer, and probably the shortest visit for many a year....
I understand the nearby nests didn't see any use.

Took a short drive out this morning to see if I could photo some swallows, but it seems they never stayed, nor set up a nest!

Autumn's around the corner.
Photo July 2024. No obs of local swift activity in the last 24hrs, and it's about time for them to be migrating southward.

The swift's are already out and about this morning, and lots of insects already active...
They'll soon be to migrate south...
