ERITH SWIFTS First visit of year to Stuart Mantle Way, Slade Green/Erith, Swift nesting site, 10th May.Air bricks used for access to lo-rise blocks of flats (circled yellow) including end section of Londonderry Parade of homes/shops, which I'd not seen used before.14 birds, exactly the same number as on my fist 2023 count here, which was made on 7th May.Plenty more apparent access points than pairs of birds, unless quite a few cavities are unsuitable in some way, so on the face of it, something else may be limiting colony size.Buglife's latest car number plate invert spatter count data isn't good news for 'bug' eating species.Chis Rose.1 day ago
