Intetesting point. I tend to think of the swallows as 'our's' and that they just go away to miss the winter, whereas swifts are visitors who come for our summer. Sadly swifts don't arrive until May and are usually gone by early August
Suspect they might just be getting a later flight.
Biggest Red (I think) Deer stag i've ever seen at 0730 this morning trotting through the car park @ Barley, and i've spent hours in many forests in the Lakes doing my degree, never seen one that big.

5 red kites and a herd of red deer yesterday but it probably doesn't count as I saw them after Harewood 10mile trail race and the herd were tame and the kites released there...I enjoyed them though.
Several grouse on way to teach my evening class and a tawny owl on way home...
Ain't seen one but what an impersonator

I drive past Harewood every weekday on way home from work and it's rare not to see a kite or two. Magnificent birds and I think a fair 'spot'

They are amazing aren't they? I love watching them flying.I drive past Harewood every weekday on way home from work and it's rare not to see a kite or two. Magnificent birds and I think a fair 'spot'
Saw two hares, a pipistrelle bat and helped a little toad across the road and prevented it getting splatted by the car that came flying up the hill.
Forgot to mention the two buzzards over Back Tor mid week.
three red admiral butterflies on the ivy and lots of bees (a good sign!).
A very healthy looking green woodpecker on the lawn
