29/03/2023 Conwy, North Wales

Alpine Swift: With an influx of Alpine swift into the UK I have been hoping for a local bird to turn up, first was the one I saw on Sunday at Doxey Marshes, Staffs although this bird was extremely distant. 

Now there is this Conwy bird, a much more confiding and had the decency to hang around for a few days.

 

I only managed one half decent shot off the bird while it gave some good passes over the A55. The bird wasn't slowing down or hanging about while it whizzed over our heads and zoomed across the tree line and the industrial units. 


The bird would disappear for long spells as it covers a large range over the coastal town of Llandudno before reappearing over industrial estate. Apart from the bird it was also great to catch ip with Peter Sutton, Steve T and his better half.
