    I'm fairly sure I saw 4 swifts over Mortonhall this morning, but was too far away to be certain.

    From Craigmillar Castle then on to Mortonhall...they're coming my way!

    (Lots of swallows and martins at Kailzie gardens today - and more squished insects on my windscreen when I got home than I've seen on a long time.)

    I noticed the large number of squished insects as I drove up to Edinburgh today (actually thought it was raining at one point) in my wide and long car after a week away that turned into four weeks at my parents' house due to them both getting COVID for the first time in relay (but not from me fortunately, and I somehow got away without getting it again). Sadly I also saw four squashed badgers between Broughton and Penicuik.

    Back on topic again, I did see swifts in Preston (although should this be in the swift thread?) as well as The Kingsknowe Rat swimming across the Lancaster Canal. Also lots of bats around dusk on the local lark and at least one tawny owl.
