Last Night's Sunset

Just to show I'm still alive (just about), here's a shot from Monday evening. It was taken on the hill above my house, looking west. The sliver of water in the distance is the Burry Inlet, which separates the Gower Peninsula in the South from Carmarthenshire to the North:


Whilst I was up there, I noticed a half-dozen Swifts and a couple of Swallows flying around, which reminded me that I've hardly seen any of these birds this year. Anyone else noticed a shortage of Swifts and hirundines this Summer?

  1. Distinct lack of Swallows, though there are a few Swifts in Skewen. Some old buildings where they have nested for years have been demolished, so their nesting sited are scarce. Zoars Ark in Neath is netting the outside of the building to stop them getting to last years nest sites :(
