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
Melody Lee Lacy @melodyleelacy.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Off topic, and across the pond, but I haven't seen a single lightning bug since Hurricane Helene. Not enough shade for them anymore, since we lost a million trees. I used to live in a forest. No more forest. 040
Eoin M @eoinmyxolodian.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Lots of them. But I’m in Portugal at the moment. They’re more or less gone in Germany 😣 100
Mrs Margaret Waldemar-Spoon @jadisnoir.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Not UK but ours are out in force. They leave by the end of July and then the skies fall silent until May next year. 010
Polly @fraxinus24.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Swifts seen in our local Midlands town. Used to have masses of Swallows in our rural location - far fewer this year, and no House Martins for about the 5th year 🙁 000
helenanaidoo.bsky.social @helenanaidoo.bsky.social · 30/06/2025More swifts than usual swooping over our bit of South London 110
Dersu Uzala @taigawanderer.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Swifts galore - they seem to have endless fun circling the cathedral of Toulouse (it seems I can’t upload a video on BlueSky 😢) 000
Gren Nation @anafurn.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Saw my first three in Brighton five minutes before reading your post. 020
barbonlass.bsky.social @barbonlass.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Lots of them here in South Lakes, Cumbria. Also thousands of native bees on the lawn clover yesterday afternoon, no sign of our regular bats this year though 000
Bob Feagan @bobf192.bsky.social · 30/06/2025We have seen some very high in Bridgend, currently in France, loads including 2 nests in our stone walls. 000
Charlie Whelan @charliewhelan.bsky.social · 30/06/2025A few years ago we had 9 house Martin nests on our house in the Highlands. Today we have none😡 000
Phil Atkin @ramoneskaraoke.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Our village is down to less than half the swifts we had last year. Butterflies are up though, and I’ll take any little positive right now. 010
Mieke Roth 🟥 @miekeroth.com · 30/06/2025How is your hearing? Because I know from some older friends they can’t hear the high pitch anymore 1100
Jo Bayly @bayly-jo.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Very few compared to usual here in the coast in West Sussex. 000
maradonnelly.bsky.social @maradonnelly.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Seen a group of about 15 or so flying around St Thomas’s hill in Canterbury a few times over the last week. 000
