Alpine Swift from the window!

A very timely early morning text alerted me to the fact that the Alpine Swift had left its roost site and was now heading east along the coast.

As my bathroom window overlooks the coast, I quickly positioned myself and after 5 minutes or so picked it up over the house and then watched as it headed ESE towards Sidestrand, where it briefly paused to feed over the trees surrounding Sidestrand school, before it headed off SE.
