Swifts gone quick!

Nice to hear MYP had seen swifts up north and WB dolphins etc , these a good deal further north and east I am guessing....

None the less it seems to me that this lack of Swifts is a bit catastrophic at least locally. I spoke with GHR yesterday and he has also only had one sighting this season. He tells me House Martin numbers are also down this year, although I saw lots migrating around the coast. We also have quite a lot of cliff nesters, though many unobservable from the land. As such it might be difficult to get a clear picture.

It seems to me some concerted effort could, should? be made to try and see how many Swifts are around the county. Maybe a coordinated one hour swift watch, one weekend in the next few weeks?
