SWIFTS IN BRIGG - IT SEEMS WE WERE RIGHT

Brigg Blog's observations about the summer visiting swifts arriving late this year seem to be supported by the ornithological experts of the UK. 
We did an internet search for Swifts and 2015 and after casting an eye over returns which featured a certain long-legged songstress, we found what we were looking for.
Here's a link to a graph plotting bird-lovers' observations of swifts arriving in the UK, comparing past years with 2015. VIEW IT HERE and look at the red line.
We are still firmly of the opinion that far fewer swifts can be seen in Brigg this year than in past summers. But that's just an observation. We haven't found a graph on the interweb to prove our point...yet!
