They have been here a few days, but this was the first time I've seen them as a group, and had a chance to get a shot.
I used an Olympus dot sight for these, which makes it easier to follow them as they dart around.
The swift is one of the last summer migrants to arrive in the UK and one of the first to leave. 'Screaming' calls reveal the presence of parties of swifts flying above the Kent Weald..

They are swift shadows of the passions that beat in my heart with every wing-stroke of pinion and bone.
Well it's flown flown from my shed roof of up the road. Not sure how it will get on but we've given it a chance.

A trip to Windermere on a grey day with only a few shots of the boats - here is 'Swift' , built 1900/ conv to mv 1956, leaving Bowness on 22/8/81.
We have a very small number this year, all nesting in the one old barn. Now I'm getting on top of their flight plans, it's getting easier to catch them, but still a way to go.
Abantiades hydrographus
What a beautiful reveal of pink on its hind wings, when the moth opened its wings.
Similar moths, emerge from the ground at this time of the year to mate, lay their eggs and die! They have a very short life as a moth.

Young Swift Fox, photographed one afternoon last summer. There were only a few quick moments where one of them looked at me, when hearing my (quiet mode) shutter click. They were very curious of everything around them and it was an unforgettable experience to watch them play together and explore their den area.

May sound like an exotic location but actually just a little slice of land amid an industrial estate known as Swift Valley Park. Rugby, Warwickshire.
The first generation of the Swift started life in Europe in 1983 as Suzuki SA310. It was built in this form until a facelift in 1986. In 1988 it was replaced by the second generation Swift.
Yet another Australian native parrot. This bird is also endangered due to habitat loss.

Swift Parrot, Lathamus discolor
The swift parrot is a threatened species, largely due to the loss of its habitat.
he swift parrot occurs in south-eastern Australia. It is a migratory bird which only breeds in Tasmania and over winters on mainland Australia. The breeding range is largely restricted to the east of Tasmania within the range of the blue gum Eucalyptus globulus.
Swift parrots are commonly observed in the Hobart area feeding on flowers of introduced eucalypts, particularly pink flowering gum. When they are feeding in small groups on flowers, they chatter quietly to themselves. Large feeding flocks also occur. These are noisy affairs with birds squabbling and chasing each other in and out of the trees.
The swift parrot is 23-25 cm long, bigger than a budgie but smaller than a rosella. Streamlined, for rapid flight, it is green with red on the throat, chin and forehead. It also has red patches on its shoulders and under the wings. It has a blue crown and cheeks, blue on its wings and a long pointed tail. It can be readily identified in flight by its bright red underwing patches.
Its call is a 'kik-kik-kik'.
The swift parrot usually arrives in Tasmania in August. Nest sites in eastern Tasmania are usually located near the coast in dry forests on upper slopes and ridge tops. They make their nests inside a hollow tree branch or trunk in very old or dead trees, which can take hundreds of years to form.
It is not unusual to find more than one pair nesting close to each other. Nest sites may be re-used but not necessarily in successive years. The use of a particular nest site depends on the availability of food in that area.
After the breeding season, in February and March, the entire population flies north, dispersing throughout Victoria and NSW.
The Swift Parrot migrates to the mainland every autumn to winter mostly in the nectar-rich box-ironbark forests and woodlands of Victoria and New South Wales.Like other migratory species, swift parrots form into flocks prior to migrating. Some of these can be quite large consisting of up to 500 birds. It appears they break up into small flocks of 10-20 birds to cross Bass Strait during the day.
Because of clearing of more than 85% of these preferred wintering habitats, and continuing clearing of 500-1000 ha of its breeding habitat for commercial woodchipping every year, the breeding population of the Swift Parrot has declined markedly in the last decade. Many individuals also die after colliding with windows, tennis court fences and other structures.
It now consists of fewer than 1300 breeding pairs and is thought to be decreasing by more than 1% every year.

One of my most popular pics!
This is the female of the other swift fox I posted. It had been raining and snowing the morning we were there and found it rather cute that her whiskers were slicked into a mustache. View it large you will see what I mean.
Sorry I haven't been a very good Flickr citizen of late, but between my hip and the sciatica, sitting for any length of time has been rather excruciating at best. I will be visiting your photos just not as quickly as I usually do.
