SWIFTS
Has anybody else noticed what appears to be a shortfall of swifts this year? I've only had 2 so far in my part of Elland.Just wondering if any one else had noticed a decline.
Plenty up here in Queensbury Geoff, had some good feeding parties through with 60+. Maybe coming over your area very high. I,m sure you,ll start getting them soon.
c6 regulars this year in Lee Mount this year. That's definately well down on previous years. Not seen any yet at the usual haunts in Pellon Lane so will have a look today. Maybe need the weather to warm up a bit and the wind to settle down up here !
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,
