Crieff Swift Project walk again
05/08/20 22:43
No takers for this evening's walk around Crieff. Mind you, at 8:00 it was gloomy and raining lightly with low clouds, not ideal conditions. Anyway, Dave and I wandered around some of the usual haunts and visited a few new ones; we have new nest sites to enter in the data sheets. As it got later the skies cleared a bit and the sun came through for a while and the numbers of swifts rose from 3 or 4 to about 25.
Crieff Swift Project walk
28/07/20 22:20
Although much like the conditions of this day last year, tonight’s Crieff walk was only blessed with a few sightings of up to ten swifts and no comings and goings at nests. We will give it another go on the 5th if anyone wants to join Dave at 8:00 p.m. at James Square (safe distancing applies of course). If you’re not sure about how to tell a swift from a swallow or if you want to learn a bit about these enigmatic birds please join in for a walk around the town. If you have information on nest sites you have recorded this season, please feel free to hand it over on the 5th as well. Dave will record your details so the sitings can be properly attributed.
