Friday 13 July, hazy sunshine, very light SE wind, 35C: Small groups of Bee-eater (5 or 6) beginning to pass over the village, mainly early morning. One ragged, moulting, Booted Eagle cruising over the south of Gaucin most of the day. Having thought that many of the Swifts had already left for Africa they have been back in great numbers the last couple of evenings - mainly Common Swift with a few Pallid amongst them.
