George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I've realised that I haven't seen or heard a single swift this year. It's deeply disturbing. How about you? 24028739
George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Glad to hear some of you are seeing them. 18862
Sheila Pankhurst @profpankhurst.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Thankfully quite good numbers where we are in Cumbria. Fewer swallow nests in our woodshed this year, but good fledging success. So a mixed bag. 020
Jansen Mann @hellojansen.com · 30/06/2025Quite a few around here in the French Pyrenees. They arrived about a month ago. 010
Alan Matthews #ClimateCrisis #FBPE @alan-matts.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I have heard a swift in West London a few times, but not as much as usual. 010
Meg @roaringmeg.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Very few. We used to enjoy them swooping and screaming over the garden on warm summer evenings but that’s a distant memory now. Our swift box, in place for 5 years, has never been used. 010
Kev McGregor @circleofconfusion.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I have so far heard plenty of them in Kyiv, Lviv, Krakow, a few on the outskirts of London and in my own home village in EastAnglia. We have a small returning colony every year. The species I normally see around the world that has been quiet is Sparrows, where have they all gone 😢 020
Jon Bradfield @jonbradfield.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I'm not an expert so could be wrong but I think it's swifts that I see doing loops in the air from my balcony in north London. Definitely forked tails. 000
Decoy Flight Attendant @jw1958.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I haven’t seen many until yesterday. Lovely sizeable flock feeding over Sheffield last night. Largest group I’ve seen in the UK this summer. Very few - isolated groups of perhaps 3 to 6 - in the rural area where I live in the east of England. 010
Sophie Collins @sophiecollins.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Usual number in Lewes (always a bit of a swift town) and many in inland Suffolk, just visited, so hopefully not an absolute knell. But have noticed this year much better for insects in Sussex, too, which may help. 000
Mrs C @dreamersanon.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We used to have House Martins every year until about 6 or 7 years ago (rural Central Scotland). Still feel their absence every summer. 010
MarkN @markno.mastodon.online.ap.brid.gy · 30/06/2025@georgemonbiot.bsky.social quite a few in Haxby, just north of York. 000
cheryldb.bsky.social @cheryldb.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Yes they have returned. Tantalisingly nesting across the way and not yet opting for our new swift box. Starlings checked it out but couldn't fit. 000
Irked Scientist @irked-scientist.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We noticed we hadnt seen any this year, but have seen 3 flying around this week. Still way down on previous years 000
mossysuze.bsky.social @mossysuze.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Screaming above me in Peckham as I write. A local lake, woodlands and plenty of roosting sites in old buildings. So far, so good 010
Alberthe Papma @albertheziningroen.bsky.social · 30/06/2025They never use the box we've put up, but always nest under the eaves of our house in the Netherlands. Such blessing to have them return each year and swoop, swirl and screech around the house! 000
Lennie @drgs100.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Seen lots in Dumfries this year and in Edinburgh where we have swift boxes. 000
Claire Macgillivray @claire-mac.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have certainly had our usual quota in the Algarve this summer. I've also noticed a few in Enfield, North London. 000
Alison Livesey @superdooperal.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Have seen my first this weekend but I was in Paris. Haven’t seen any at home in Warwickshire so far this year. It is distressing. 000
clskerritt.bsky.social @clskerritt.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I'm currently over in Poland, in the small town I'm staying they have loads. In fact a lot of wildlife in total compared to the UK. 130
axeedge.bsky.social @axeedge.bsky.social · 30/06/2025A continuing trend. Old farm buildings turned into des.res. gives fewer places for hirundini and swift species to nest and reduced livestock farming gives less insect life for them to feed on. 000
Ben @benjyhere.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I have a pair nesting on the back of my house for the first time this year. They fly around with between 4 and 12 friends for most of the day. In the evening, up to 20 circling above the house. SW London 1110
Lucy in France @richardandl.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have loads of them here in SW France. They keep swooping in to our converted barn and then I have to try and encourage them to leave. 000
bobbybancroft.bsky.social @bobbybancroft.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Saw them in Glossop for the first time this weekend. 000
Stewart @stewchat.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Loads in Norfolk and Suffolk on holiday last two weeks. It was areal pleasure to see them screaming around the villages. That doesnt happen much in Northumberland these days. 030
Brendon McConnell @brendonmcconnell.bsky.social · 30/06/2025loads around Reigate, Surrey area. They came early this year too 000
CaroBar @carobar.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I've seen more swifts this year than in recent years. They seem to be doing well in parts of North West England. 000
Andrew @zero-gravitas.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Seen a few this year. Curlews seem to be doing well this year (at least in Southern Scotland) which is nice. 000
Roger Milton @rogermilton.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Have about a dozen screeching overhead right now whilst sat in my garden in Exeter. Saw some swallows at lunchtime. 000
Neil Campbell @astralsocialite.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Definitely have the usual small number over the Calder in Mirfield. 000
David Q @davidqhog.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have a few here over Lechlade, Glos. Not very vocal until recently. No swallows. 000
alisonwillis1.bsky.social @alisonwillis1.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Plenty here in and around Scarborough 000
Anna @drannaspanna.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Plenty here, as usual. If anything there have been more than usual 010
justtransitionw.bsky.social @justtransitionw.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have at least 4 overhead, continually. Seems to be a higher insect population this year so hoping for a good breeding year. 030
robkewley.bsky.social @robkewley.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Spotted in my corner of South Birmingham 000
Andrés Granadero @andresgranadero.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Hundreds in Barcelona! Them screaming in the morning is the best alarm clock ever! 000
Radio Lento @radiolento.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Many screetching overhead in north London yesterday. They arrived at the end of April. 000
Bust_Dunny @el4leather.bsky.social · 30/06/2025A few here. The local council offices have swift bricks built in; I don't know if that's a new feature. I can count 7 in one go. Hopeful that others are hunting elsewhere. I can remember when there were swarms whizzing around. 010
Verity Imelda Player @verityplayer.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Same. Even I usually see and recognise them. Also I have Merlin on my phone now, and it hasn't heard one. 030
artbymickeyg.bsky.social @artbymickeyg.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I saw a scream of 25 having a ball above a deserted area of my home town, Lowestoft yesterday. I've been following a lonely gang of 3 in the skies here all summer. I was so surprised and happy I joined in the melee and starting screeching. Until a single dog walker came along and eyed me warily. 010
Bouba's Delivery Service @fernmonkey.bsky.social · 30/06/2025That's worrying. Here in Technically Amsterdam, I hear and see plenty of swifts every evening. 010
Sharon McTeir 📚 🐈 @sharonmcteir.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We’ve had both swifts and swallows in the Tweed valley but they were very late and the swallows, in particular, in much smaller numbers. 010
Alan Chedzoy @cheddarz.bsky.social · 30/06/2025A few, but quite a lot in Wells when i visited recently. There seems to be a dramatic decrease in House Martin numbers this year, if my area is a yardstick. 000
Ernestine Marsh @ernagain.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I've seen more this year than ever before near to the village we're moving to. 000
Gill O’Leary @gilloleary.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Lots in our Hampshire market town only because a wonderful local man has spent 20 years encouraging swifts putting up boxes around the town. He deserves a medal. 1110
Linda @lindawhisky.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have them screaming over the house in evenings here in New Forest. Can’t see them but can hear them if I turn hearing aid up. 👍 Just a thought,maybe you have hearing loss? I can’t hear dawn chorus any more, didn’t realise until had hearing aids. 000
Steven King @biggreybox.net · 30/06/2025I was noticing how often I've seen swifts this year here in Dundee. Not a large number but there every day. 000
LondonDiscuss @londondiscuss.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have seen some. Not many, but some. Essex London borders. 000
corakle.bsky.social @corakle.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Lots of them when we were in Canterbury last week, heard a few in London as well. 000
Rhapsody Angel @rhapsodyangel.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Yes, I'm in Norfolk and they are nesting near to where I live. My parents are in Suffolk and same in their village. 000
Debbie Tann MBE @debbietann.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Thanks to our swift street project we still have good numbers here in Hampshire, but overall they are in steep decline. Millions of lost nesting sites in buildings over decades plus insecticides are to blame. 040
drbarbarajane.bsky.social @drbarbarajane.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Our swifts are always late arrivals & have to compete with space in the roof with the sparrows & starlings! Back this year and not at all Bothered by the enormous scaffolding & building works going on since the gable end fell down! 👍🏻😊 010
Scree @screecycle.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Oh wow, I am passionate about this. Yes here we have about the same, maybe up 5%, a couple of people have been frantically trying the nest boxes. But my other friends educate me that this is a small part of the problem. Yesterday I visited Hook Norton, they have a reasonable if still small ... 110
joygoodenough.bsky.social @joygoodenough.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Plenty in the skies above Stroud. Wheeling, calling in groups of 3 and up to 8.Much more obvious than the 2 previous El Nino summers. Makes the heart sing. 000
pooneil1.bsky.social @pooneil1.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Not seen a single Swift, Swallow or House Martin here in rural south Oxfordshire. 000
Tony Nicholls @tonynicholls.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We’ve had perhaps one pair this year where we live. Usually there are dozens. I have seen more around the area (North Lakes, England) but nowhere near as many as usual. On the plus side, a Sandpiper has taken up residency by the river. A long way from any shoreline. 000
davidstevomonkey66.bsky.social @davidstevomonkey66.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Theres a group of 10 down my road, about tge same as last year. 000
Tim Lowe @timlow3.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Bees and butterflies are what I'm missing. Hardly any, compared to a usual year. Very concerning here in Amsterdam. 000
Cath Martin 59 @cathmartin59.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Come to Derbyshire. Increasing swift numbers in many locations. Villages like Tideswell part of project to reverse decline: 20+ nests this year 021
Geoff Brock @geoffbrock.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Lots here in Wimbledon. Perhaps coming to see the tennis? 000
Emjay305 @emilyjlu.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have 6 swift boxes on our small block of flats and they are all occupied again this year. The swifts arrived early this year too. One benefit of living high up is watching the screaming parties close up, and seeing them return at such accurate speed into their nesting boxes. My favourite birds! 080
heleninsomerset.bsky.social @heleninsomerset.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Numbers holding up near Martock, s Somerset. After 6 years, one has beaten the sparrows to the des res that is my swift box. V pleasing. Long term trends awful though… 010
Jenny Bone @jenny-bone.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I saw one yesterday early evening in coastal Hampshire. No swallows or house martins though? 😢 010
Elizabeth @farageisadickhead.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Loads of the loud wee buggers here in south Essex. 👍😃 000
Black Fen @blackfen.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Today I finally saw swifts over our village. I don't know why it was so late this year, but they're here now & that makes the world a slightly better place. 000
Gwyn Ap Nudd @cymrojazz.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We've seen House Martins, Swallows (first time in years) and, I think, Swifts (definitely heard them) Neath valley south Wales. 010
Liz Rice 💛💙🐝 @lizrice.com · 30/06/2025I noticed quite a few soaring about last week. I wonder if they are a bit at risk from all the kites though? they seem to be everywhere across the south in large numbers now 230
petercracknell.bsky.social @petercracknell.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I see swifts almost every day. 000
alisonpeta.bsky.social @alisonpeta.bsky.social · 30/06/2025They’re all here in the south of France 000
WMR 🇨🇦🦫🦋🐻❄️ @jinxyminxy.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Lots in my town, they live in a big chimney across the road. 010
Chris McGarry @chris-mcgarry.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I’ve got a family swooping around morning and early evening for the first time here. They give me such joy. 010
Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Thankfully they're as plentiful as ever here in Poland 020
Ash Daibach @whimberry.bsky.social · 01/07/2025I've been hearing them regularly this summer, it's been wonderful, though of course I know they're under dire threat. 000
James @jamesmaggs.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Plenty in Hereford, George. I have seen more than a dozen together some evenings. There are at least three or four flying over the garden every day. 000
Emma South @emmaelm.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We see them, groups of 3/4 and up to 6 at a time, screaming over the roof! Love them. We are in central Chelmsford 😁 010
Liam Kirby @lkirbyradstock.bsky.social · 30/06/2025They come every year here, and though there are some their numbers are definitely down on even a couple of years ago. 010
Nick Williams @wicky.nillia.ms · 30/06/2025There are lots near me. Every evening I see them flying above my garden along with martens. Possibly more numerous than last year, which is heartening 000
Susan Board, PhD @suseboard.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I saw swifts last week up on the South Downs at dusk 000
Steve Halley @engelbert1969.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have a nest at the apex of the roof directly above the front door. 2 families a year are brought up there with 20+ birds battling each time for which parents get the property. It's fantastic to have them despite the mess. Delivery people have to dodge the poos! 020
Sarah @rochdalegirl.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Thankfully I’ve seen and heard lots. The usual crew came home to roost a couple of months ago 😊 000
Seán King @seanfredk.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Yep seen swifts in Derbyshire and Yorkshire, and swallows in Cornwall 010
Nettebuecherkiste @nettebuecherkiste.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I'm in the South-West of Germany and I'm happy to say there are quite a few in my neighbourhood this year. 😊 000
Nicky Akehurst @nickyakehurst.bsky.social · 30/06/2025One, as opposed to the usual dozen or so. The one that I am really noticing that is missing is the no pipistrelle bats. The first I haven't seen any in 17 years. 010
J Smith @wingcramp.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Saw about half a dozen earlier today over SE London. Used to see at least four times that. 000
Megan Crewe @meegsy.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Fortunately still seeing some over our place in North Norfolk. We're doing our bit for food supplies with our wild garden! 010
Lomelindi12 @lomelindi12.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I have, thankfully - lots over the oat & wheatfields nearby 140
Idiodyssey @idiodyssey.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Didn’t see one but my Merlin app recorded 1 last night when sat outside in Kew at 8.00. 010
At my Wits' End @witsendfr.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Have seen a few this year in SW Central France, could really do with them getting here - the bugs are getting out of hand and all our bats can't keep up with the cull. 000
stixeh.bsky.social @stixeh.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Lots of them here in Lincolnshire at least a dozen over the garden right now 000
buffythehat.bsky.social @buffythehat.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have them here in the Mendips but have lost almost all out swallows 000
Hels Babs @hels8.bsky.social · 30/06/2025This is very sad! I have seen and heard them up here in Inverness but maybe not as many as I had hoped 000
Jonathan Blackmore @jonathanblackmore.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We need to save the insects if we want swifts to flourish. It's no use creating nests if there's no food for them. 000
Adrian Clark @mradrianclark.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We never get many in our bit of N Surrey (at the base of the Downs, whereas they seem to prefer the higher ground) but this year seems to be a slight improvement. 100
widersky.bsky.social @widersky.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I've seen more this year than ever in my life. 000
AllanJenkins21 @allanjenkins21.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Swifts swooping over St Dominic’s in Kentish Town 000
Joe Marshall @joegmarshall.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Many here in our village in W Cornwall. More than the previous past 4 years, thankfully. 000
Myriad Freckles @myriad-freckles.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Glad to say we have plenty in South London. And lots of energy in our neighbourhood WhatsApp group about getting swift boxes 010
tine @tine5.bsky.social · 30/06/2025There's a swift mapper which is helpful in seeing how distributions are changing over time (higher numbers in the east than the west for example) 110
Abigail Nunes-Richards @abinr.bsky.social · 30/06/2025They were late returning to their normal nesting places in our eaves in Switzerland. But they are here. 000
Esther @elhopkins.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I haven’t either, so annoyed about the decision from Labour on the bricks. I have seen skylarks though. 040
Kim P @kimep.bsky.social · 30/06/2025They are here in Harlow Essex on the common by me. Not in huge numbers but here nonetheless 100
Shamini Flint @shaminiflintauthor.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Your fucking Govt won’t do swift bricks … 110
Cllr Barry McKee @barryndgreen.bsky.social · 30/06/2025More than ever before! Sorry that it hasn’t been the same for you. 030
Mark Osterloh @osterlohatlarge.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Unfortunately, a consortium of swallows bought the birdsong rights last year, so the swifts are frantically re-recording to reclaim ownership. Dawn Chorus II about to drop. 020
Sir Barry Attric-Surgery @barryattricsurgery.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I hardly see sparrows these days. 000
Gina Lawless @ginalawless.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have the opposite in Cambridgeshire - more than I've noticed in recent times. A very healthy population this year. 000
DaemonForneus @daemonforneus.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I've seen a few in West Yorkshire, but not as many as last year. Not heard as many curlews, either. 000
John Bennett @jaybee27.bsky.social · 30/06/2025They've been a constant visual and aural backdrop here in wiltshire this summer, delighting and mesmerising with their aerobatic caperings. Yesterday, they had a feast on flying ant day, screaming with delight at the pickings! 000
Blue Fox Moon @bluefoxmoon.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have some that visit every evening in the US Midwest! Lightning bugs too! ❤️✨ 000
David Shepherd @davesheph.bsky.social · 30/06/2025They're over the skies of West Leicester City and Abergavenny and Hampshire 000
Controlled Decay @controlleddecay.bsky.social · 30/06/2025swifts overhead here George not as many as there used to be - and im in the High Peak so unfair advantage 000
Fiona @kingfisher-owl.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Saw them in numbers in Northumberland in May. We have them in Sheffield. In fact, I'm out with the Sheffield Swift Network monitoring nest sites tonight. 010
TG42Birder🇵🇸 @tg42birder.bsky.social · 30/06/2025No surprise George. There’s been a 66% decrease 1995 - 2022. Juvenile survival has decreased & is driving the decline. There’s a lack of insect food & climate change is playing a large role, though the attention is given to lack of nest sites (no actual evidence) www.mmu.ac.uk/news-and-eve...mmu.ac.ukSwifts delayed by cold and wet springs face mounting problems as the climate changesDr Alex Lees explains the effect of a changing climate on the behaviour of swifts 1130
Stephen Lowe Watson @stephenlowewatson.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Just a few - we do have a small population in Lewes, they even have Bluesky account @lewesswifts.bsky.social 110
Rich Holman @richholman.com · 30/06/2025We got a few outside our flat in Hackney. Maybe not as many as last few years. 000
Chris @chriswalker.scot · 30/06/2025We saw some nesting in the sand dunes north of Aberdeen on Saturday. 000
Frances Taylor @mosaicmania.bsky.social · 30/06/2025There are some here (Otley West Yorkshire) but not as many as usual. Pretty much no curlews or kingfishers 120
trewisms.bsky.social @trewisms.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Seen some but not many in North London. I got excited last night because I counted 6 at once 😕 000
Vim Fuego @2000manbelfast.bsky.social · 30/06/2025They're back in semi rural North of Ireland. Actually a good few of them this year. 000
Alasdair Cameron @alasdaircameron.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I was down on one of our rewilding sites today and was gripped with terror when I realised I hadn’t even seen a swallow. Fortunately later spotted about 40 on the phone lines waiting out the heat, but very few swifts so far. 130
Claire Richardson @clairehistory.bsky.social · 30/06/2025It’s been a good year for them where I live. Lots of insects and lots of noisy swifts 040
DaveHenniker @davehenniker.bsky.social · 30/06/2025They're a rarity now in Edinburgh. They used to nest in the tenement eaves. 230
vickybell.bsky.social @vickybell.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Less sadly. We put nest boxs up as yet no takers. 120
JM64 @jm64.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I live on swallodale estate in Essex (renowned for swallows and swifts). Not one. First time in 39 years they’re not here. 030
Arch Duke @archdukeofgloom.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Seen a handful, heard less. Same for swallows, & martins. Not surprised, it's important but not a headline maker. Might make a paragraph in the book about how we failed ourselves. 000
Jakub Patočka @jakubpat.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Hi George, here in Brno it seems the same as every year, they come mid May, by now I think the youngsters may be out of the nests because it seems there is more of them in the sky than only a few days ago. I cannot imagine anymore how the life would be without them coming to grace the summer sky. 020
Karen Lynn @titchlynn.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Saw dozens of them yesterday sat on overhead electricity lines in the fields in Fitzhead, West Somerset. First sighting. 150
Dave Almighty @dave-almighty.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Not seen the following (and I live in the country and used to). Starlings. Greenfinch. Gold Finch. Moths. Daddy long legs. Wasps. 200
Serena @serenadawson.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Suspect linked to the lack of insects - currently staying near Bath and have heard them whereas at home in Kent, I haven’t. 000
Claire @cbellecats.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Lots around here in South West London, the newly fledged peregrines have been trying to catch them and failing 040
Dave @daveacoley.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Stratford Herald ran an article this weekend on this subject. 000
lizziec.bsky.social @lizziec.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Lots where I am and obvious fledglings about. Also swallows and house martins. Lots of early arrivals this year. 010
Devaney 🇬🇧🇩🇪 @daveleo72.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Plenty around here, but I’m in Berlin, not the UK. Does seem to be less than usual though. 100
Eva MacDonald 🏴 @evamacdonald.bsky.social · 30/06/2025yes, heard them here in Scotland 🏴 000
Andrew S. 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 🌈 🏳️⚧️ @parallax2112.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I've seen them on two occasions, but, as you say, their absence is very disturbing. 000
Squish 🧡♿🏳️🌈🏴🇪🇺 @sassysquish.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have small but steadily increasing numbers in south Notts 000
MountainBec @mountainbec.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I've seen about 5 groups of about 20. I'd normally have seen 1 bigger group but other than that it's normal numbers. 000
loopylaura.bsky.social @loopylaura.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I noticed it last year 😪 I leave the door open in the evening and there are very few moths or insects. I don't want to find out about the bats I used to see. 000
Liz Probert @greysquirrel300.bsky.social · 02/07/2025yes we have some here in Hertfordshire, beautiful birds. 010
psouthern1.bsky.social @psouthern1.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Saw one the other day. Don't usually see them near me. 000
catsinfrance @catsinfrance.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Possibly all down her in Normandy with the house martins, birds, bees and butterflies 000
Philippe Auclair @philippeauclair.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Plenty of them carousing in the West London skies near Shepherds Bush, thank goodness. A spectacular ballet every single evening. 080
Mark Breeze @markyb62.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Yes, seen quite a few, heard more. My impression is that there are less than there were a decade ago. 000
ampallanguk.bsky.social @ampallanguk.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Maybe they are all tired after the Eras Tour? 000
Elizabeth Oliver @elizabetholiver.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Recorded them in Thame on 4th June. They scream above the market place. 000
da1sy-alexander.bsky.social @da1sy-alexander.bsky.social · 30/06/2025In West Dorset in early June, lots of sightings. 100
Chris Pook @drchrispook.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I'm in Cornwall and there's dozens of them (swallows/swifts/I can't tell the difference). I was in Prague last week. Same there. 000
Simon Francis @simonfrancis.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Plenty here in the north Dordogne ! (Actually I think their numbers are down somewhat) 010
