10. Each evening around 8pm they gathering a flock, swarming and screeching, until about 9.30pm when they settle and disperse.

I put up a new nest box 3 yrs ago having clearly had them nesting behind the fascia boards for years. These were replaced but they were still sneaking back in via some broken rendering to nest this last few years. To my surprise and delight, offspring have for the first time nested in my new double swift box. So throughout the day they are in and out and I can hear chicks and parents scrabbling about inside and chirping when feeding or waiting to be fed. Pairs start darting by about 8pm, flying past, alerting each other if I’m sat below watching, until they feel safe enough to dash in. They are so fast that I can’t see if just one or both go in. When the first swift returns on 9 May each year (one sole one was on 8th this year flying along the valley). I’m delighted. This date is in my birthday book! I’m thrilled, it brings tears to my eyes, it makes me smile and excitedly tell my family they are back! I feel a bond with them as they form my ‘summer’. I love listening as my windows are open doing my own thing, like sharing my home with friends! I want to put up another double box for next year if I can find someone to put it up for me. Last time a very kind man from the Derbyshire swift group put this new double one up, plus put some starter feathers in it. I’m now attacking my garden after renovating inside. I want to plant insect attracting plants. I’ve noticed for last 5 yrs since moving here that numbers of swifts are reduced quite a bit and wonder if it’s due to reduced numbers of insects. Now so many trees have been cut down due to ash die back, particularly along the Via Gellia, I wonder how this will affect them. But generally they seem to fly the skies towards the river valley, along it, and over the other side very high in the sky toward Riber castle and parallel with the A6 direction to Whatstandwell.
