They put on a good show before they left, though. Our pair had a second clutch (?) of babies who all took to the wing a couple of weeks ago.
For a few nights there were 10-12 of the little beasties flying around doing their aerobatics. Then, the other night, we counted 30 of them before giving up as they were darting around everywhere & it was impossible to tell which ones we'd already counted.
They were flying high, swooping down into the stables & out again, flitting round the trees - it was amazing to watch. I couldn't believe how fast they were flying and how they could dart around so much without colliding.
Today there were none so I assume they've all headed off south to warmer climes.
I wish them all a safe flight & hopefully they'll be back next year. The nest will be waiting for them.
