A minimum of at least 14 Swifts over our house in c/booth  at 7.15 tonight, hard to count as they were scattered but we're pretty sure there was a few more too. 

Never seen so many so later in the year.

1 Marsh Tit at feeders also.

Hi Craig
Might be worth putting this on BirdTrack as they have a peak count for this week in Lancashire of 5, historical high of 7!!
You are right I have not seen this many reports so late before, any other thoughts?
Cheers Ian
