Close

This evening, on my roof, I watched the clouds developing and the swifts screaming around the rooftops. The swifts are nesting next-door as usual. The approach to their nests under the eves is a tricky one but their aerobatic skills are stupendous. Sometimes, being in their flightpath makes me feel a little on edge. Unfortunately a bird the size of a hamster flying straight at you, at 100 miles an hour, whilst screeching, is a difficult photographic challenge. This is the best I could do.

It feels close. The clouds are pent-up. I expect thunder and a downpour.
