And we need all the chicks we can get. The most swifts I have seen over Grove Park thus far is three. I always scan the skies for the first arrivals as a sign that summer is coming but every year there seem to be less and I dread the day when there are none.

At our end of GP (motorway end) there have been 4 swifts feeding as opposed to the usual 3. I hope that the St Thomas Road colony are also back - they don't usually come over our end to feed though so I don't know about them

LeslieI've forwarded your post to several Chiswick residents who are volunteers for for wildlife trusts. Thank you so much for posting on here. We need to protect and save Swifts.

A friend has seen those swifts. Please, everyone, don’t block holes in your eaves: these birds will do no harm.

We save a tiny thrush the next day the mother return, it was the sweetestthing.
