Well, today I saw them high in the sky above my house. The Swifts are back, so it is officially summer. The Jays seem to have taken their cue from the Swifts, they are building a nest in the tree opposite my house. They've been busy flying to and fro all morning. They've tried in that tree before but that didn't work out very well. Maybe they will have better luck this time.
Yesterday I was out in the grasslands to the west of the city, and got to see most of our breeding grassland birds. The Godwits, Oystercatchers, Lapwings, Redshanks are all back. I got to see a long Spoonbill, and the Peregrine Falcon at its nest high on a Telecom tower. Beautiful, green days.
