Alpine Swift - Barton on Humber

This is possibly the worst shot ever taken of an Alpine Swift but at least I got a record shot with my tiny battered Canon Ixus 800, if you want to see a really good shot click on the pewit link on the right hand side. We were out for a leisurely morning today checking down Bagmoor Lane for Garden Warblers when our friend Graham Catley rang telling us of this Alpine Swift he had just found on his local patch so at great haste we shot off and thankfully it was still there - so a British tick for me and a Lincs tick for Wayne. This Alpine Swift is only the second record for the Scunthorpe recording area - the first was on the 16th June 1979.
