Do you have any binoculars? My first ever sighting of swifts was when I was lying in the park, trying out some 10x25s. Nothing at all within plain sight, but when I was playing around with the focus -- presumably for clouds or planes -- suddenly there they were. I've still never heard any in real life though. The sample I heard on the BBC website sounded fairly high frequency and not very loud, so I suppose I might miss some; but then there have been precious few reports I've seen here of any being heard. The only one I remember is Jenny1's last year. -

None of that makes any sense. Rumour and vibes-based governance... Meanwhile, thanks in part to the NIMBY tendencies of certain councillors, 23 London council areas saw 0 (zero) new housing units under construction in Q1 2024. Pitiful. About 724,000 (net) people moved to the UK in 2024, a sizeable chunk of them to London. The already high demand for housing is increasing, and the supply isn't changing at all. Rent prices (and therefore taxpayer funds paid to private landlords through Housing Benefit) are going up...and new housing units are objected to because they're "visible" and because a fear that rich foreign students will live there. -
Lots of hoverflies (that look like drone honeybees) about today. Also, tiny (< .5cm) bees/wasps -
Posting for friend. Both missing since Thursday eve. Last seen in back garden on Soames Street, their garden backs onto gardens in bellenden road, avondale rise and copleston road. Gladys went missing a month or so ago and I know she was chased by a large black and white cat and again he is back in my garden and now both my cats missing. They are both chipped and neutered. No collars. Thank you.
