I haven't spotted any House Martins yet - Keep hearing Swifts in town and out and about

There must be 20+ whizzing about here today, but none paying any attention the the usual nest on next doors wall. I seem to remember it was late last year before it got inhabited, and family-fied too

Lovely PB. I do need to work on my shutter speed and birds in flight. I think swallows and skylarks are the ones I'm concentrating on. May as well fail with them than a slower bird

Thanks Bob... Those posts were from last year, I've not managed anything like that so far this year
