I parked up on Limy Lane and went to look out from the first gate towards Crown Point and picked up a bird on the horizon which looked initially like a bird of prey. I was thinking Hobby but it just didn't fit right and as it got closer I could see it was an Alpine Swift.
An unbelievable sighting and the last bird I expected to see tonight as I always associate Alpine Swift with high summer but having seen them in several European locations I'm sure of the identification. The bird headed off south west over Nutshaw.
