The Myddleton Road swifts

The glorious summer days see the Myddleton Road swifts circling the junction with Palmerston Road like crazy - swooping round in high circles and darting into eaves. I just love to see and hear them. If anyone has the patience to try and film them, a clip would be great to share.

I've tried but failed dismally.

Still, nothing like the real thing :)

PS they are swifts, right?

I also see them around the place! They're great. Pretty sure, they're swifts.

Shall see if I can have my camera at the ready next time!

Ah, swifts....the children of the sky and, after Nell, my favourite bird. I have the patience to try and film them, just not the skills because they are so quick. The good weather has sent them in to overdrive it seems.
