We have fewer swallows than last year, I think, but they’re busy making up the deficit, as long as they can keep the cat off.

I wish we had swifts but the buildings around here aren’t tall enough!

I’ve heard a few swifts screaming occasionally, and seen some house-martins and possibly some sand-martins, but due to the generally expletive-deleted crap / soggy / wet / weather we’ve had in the South-East up until recently, there have been very few insects and presumably not much for the birds or anything else to eat or feed to their offspring.

For the first time ever I saw a buzzard recently soaring over here, and being mobbed by a crow:

I didn’t know there were Buzzards around here.
