How lovely Penny. I don’t think I was aware of them as a child. Maybe they didn’t venture as far as Northern Ireland - too much rain so not enough insects!
How lovely and heartwarming- your article about swifts! Now currently in Dorset, I see them swirling and skimming the blue skies most days and it’s just the loveliest thing to watch. The happiest feeling! Will definitely try to get a swift nesting box for the garden.
What a beautiful story. My childhood summers in Yorkshire were bookended by the arrival and departure of the swifts. There seemed to be so many then, swirling in the skies above us. We had nesting pairs in the eaves of our barn - my birthday at the very end of August always seemed to coincide with their departure X
