Robert helped Sharon and I by turning our skeins into balls of wool with Sharon's swift. This was at our Tour de France launch knitting party.
I have been trying to get a better Swift than my last years one.......and this is slightly better, but still not great! Taken in Harwich, Essex. I also had a bit of a dusty lens I think ( must give it a clean!)
(Vulpes velox)
Swift foxes are small, mostly nocturnal, prairie predators that subsist primarily on jackrabbits, rodents and other small animals. Trim, sleek and built for speed, swift foxes rarely weigh more than 6 pounds (3 kg).
Like many prairie-dwelling animals, swift foxes have been adversely affected by human activities. In addition to losing habitat, they have been negatively impacted by attempts to control other predators. Extirpation of wolves has allowed their main predator, the coyote, to flourish. Also, unwary swift foxes are sometimes attracted to poisoned bait set out for coyotes.
This adult swift fox, photographed in late afternoon not far from its burrow near Karval, Colorado, is leaving to find food for its pups.
So we took the swift in. Unable to fly and vulnerable, we figured we could try to let it rest, safe from harm, and maybe it would grow strong enough to fly again. We put it on the table, near the edge, but it was happy there, not moving much, looking here and there.
After driving for hours through the forests of Washington, we finally arrived at the Swift Creek Reservoir near Cougar, a small town. Even though the lake is artificial, it is a very beautiful area. Unfortunately, it was raining during our visit. See the other side of the reservoir as well.

every night in September 10,000 swifts roost in a chimney in North Portland. It's like watching smoke in reverse
(dutch tilt on this is unintentional. I was shooting with at tripod on uneven ground)
Swifts and people to live under same roof
Swifts are declining nationally and Camden Council has installed nest boxes high up on various housing blocks to help to address the decline.
One of the reasons for the decline is modern construction practices which render once-accessible nesting sites under roof eaves inaccessible.
The installation of swift nesting boxes in high-rise buildings is seen as one way to counter-act this problem, providing suitable nesting sites for this fascinating bird.
Amazingly swifts spend most of their time in the air even sleeping and mating in mid-air! Swifts arrive from Africa in and regularly use buildings in the UK to breed. They nest in high man-made structures under tiles, in the eaves and in lofts.
The housing sustainability and nature conservation teams worked in partnership to install swift boxes on non-residential walls. Swift bricks were cemented into the wall to provide long-lasting nest sites. If successful - the nest boxes will only be used for a few months (May to August) to raise broods of chicks. As the chicks do make a slight chirping noise, the stairwell walls were used to eliminate any chirping disturbance that could occur on dwelling walls.
There will be no cost to residents for this installation and the boxes do not require regular cleaning as the adults also eat most of the droppings their chicks produce!
These nest boxes contribute towards targets in Camden’s latest Biodiversity Action Plan to provide a variety of nesting habitat throughout the borough.
