  2. A Great set of images, John. I'm envious of your Alpine Swift, but your last four images are my favourite - particularly those of the Dipper - beautiful!

    With my best wishes to you and Sue - - - Richard

  10. I am starting to wonder whether Alpine Swift is becoming more common in the UK. Seems to me there have been several reports of them recently.
