Swifts and Us: The Life of the Bird that Sleeps in the Sky @WmCollinsBooks.

[Sarah Gibson @WindsweptSarah]

Swifts are the wildest of birds, almost supernaturally adapted to an aerial life, they eat, sleep, mate and catch their nesting material in the air. #worldswiftday 1/8

Two swifts over my garden! Just yesterday Countryile star Hayley Garrod installed six integral nest boxes in my loft and the call system is now on!

[Sarah Gibson @WindsweptSarah]

@LWestwoodAuthor Yes, a great thread, well told!

@JWentomologist Would you mind posting the recipe for making a cob brick?

Brimstone flying in a sheltered quarry in the Oswestry hills today.

@SteB777 I was there a little earlier when the wind began to blow holes in the clouds.

[Sarah Gibson @WindsweptSarah]

@JulianHoffman That's heartbreaking.

[Sarah Gibson @WindsweptSarah]

@lottieglover23 Yes! I heard one yesterday then two this morning and saw one flitting through a tree, lovely to have them back.

@KerrieDoodles @Hugh_Stokes Egypt's favourite bird. Called Hud hud there, which sounds right!

[Sarah Gibson @WindsweptSarah]

I was in my local post office today when a pigeon flew in. A big guy in a hi-viz jacket very gently cornered it, picked it up and took it back outside. So nice to see this done so calmly. "I didn't want it to get hurt," he said.

Still two months before swifts return to the UK but in Egypt, where spring comes early, they're back already. Video taken in Tahir Square by my son.
