Most years, the number of swifts starts thinning out halfway through August, with stragglers all the way to the end of the month. This year was strange though; I think it was yesterday that I noticed several swifts wheeling around out the back of the house. Then today, we did a massive day trip to Bath, and I don’t remember seeing any swifts down there. In fact I have not seen one since, so it seems that yesterday was the last day for swifts.
