Weeks with no Flickring, apologies. Back now.
Spent a quiet but frenetic hour on my garden seat with numbers of swifts mostly either too high or too fast , but a number of shots looked okay. the keeper rate I'll keep quiet about.
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 Pacific Swift is a 111 ft, Canadian square topsail schooner looking like a pirate ship. She was built in 1986 by the Sail and Life Training Society to provide 5- to 10-day sail training programs for young people and day sails for S.A.L.T.S. members around Vancouver Island and along the coast of British Columbia.
The Pacific Swift has also completed four offshore voyages, some of more than a year in duration. Her offshore travels have taken her to Australia and Europe, to remote communities on Easter and Pitcairn Island, and to many other far-flung ports of call.

A flock above our campground. These are quite rare and numbers are decreasing around Tasmania. Strahan, Tasmania, Australia.
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.
