Joy! First swifts of the year seen screaming in the sun over my house at 6pm today. What a welcome sign of hope in these horrible times.

Are you sure they were swifts, not swallows or martins?

Swallows here yesterday, reported by my wee sister.

Only two but it's a start.

Not seen any of those mentioned so far, I'll be keeping an eye out for them.

Ah yes, Zacs, thought they couldn't be swifts - a month ago is too early for them. They're zooming about up there as I type, gladdening my heart.
I wonder if ladybirder has seen any yet...

I was in the garden, just thinking about them and low and behold, I looked up to the sky and saw several martins up in the wild blue yonder picking off the flies.

That's truly wonderful, proof that things are still going on as normal amidst all the madness.
