I queried swift lore with an Authority and in the end it came down to a single account by a French fighter pilot from WWI.
Can you believe it?

Spotted a few last Wednesday by Tyne near Belhaven Bay close to Tyninghame (Mrs LB and I did river walk last week Dunbar to Haddington - train out/bus back. First venture out of city this year.)

Swallow on Dreva today. No swifts yet

Heard them today from inside and rushed out to see them swooping overhead but was dissuaded from any fancy notions about summer by a sudden rainstorm.

Maybe a Swift, the scimitar was there, above Harlaw farm when I was out this morning making my bike even dirtier.
Moved so quickly behind the barn so not official

Definite swifts over the New Town yesterday evening. Also, on the socials, photos from Mr W Cow, ex of this parish, of a couple of swifts over Duddingston.
A few days later than last year but, given the weather over the last week or so, I can't say I blame them. Dodging hailstorms can't be fun, and who knows what that sort of stuff does to their food sources.

@gembo He mustn't have been happy with the quality of the pic as it was very heavily cropped and only made it onto Twitter.

@ps, yes he is a most excellent photographer so won’t go with shoddy goods on faceboook
