Well, summer is definitely around the corner. I awoke the other morning to the screeching sounds of swifts flying above our roof garden.

Every year, almost to the day, they arrive in numbers to grace our skies.

Hungry from their migration, they fly like ballistic missiles searching for food and a place to nest.

They are a welcome sight in Brighton. I only wish I felt the same way about seagulls.
