I expect the single one has sent a message to the others to let them know to stay where they are for a few more days.

Swifts and swallows are different birds, murray.... we're still waiting here in Kent, but the weather's not exactly been encouraging.

My swifts arrived today! (Derbys)
|

Question Author
At last, about 7 more Swifts arrived last night, to keep poor "singleton" company.
So "singleton" arrived early, the other 7 or so late, blinking weather, must be so confusing for them!
