The bad weather in the spring seems to have caused a lot of damage to the hirundine population. Nowhere near as many about as normal. I hope we have a decent summer to help the ones who arrive breed successfully.
Swifts arrive a bit later, they seem to be ok. I've seen loads last couple of weeks.

You have a bit of thrush:shrug:

Kings Road in Canton (Pontcanna) is usually gull of swifts this time of year.
They have been coming there to nest for over a century. The whole area used to be The Marquais of Bute's orchards.
