We usually expect Swifts to arrive towards the end of April / into May. I think our first ones reported this year were 2 over Cromwell Bottom this last Tuesday 3rd May (MH) and on the same day one over Hebden Bridge. A few more today from Hardcastle Crags x 1, Claremount x 1, Mytholmroyd x 2 and Hebden Bridge (Mytholm) x 3.
Hopefully a few more in the next few days for a bird that has been in decline locally, and nationally, over the last few years.
