What an amazing evening! I was on my way to see Bob Dylan at the Echo Arena Liverpool, when a phone call alerted me to the fact that a Pallid Swift which had been seen yesterday morning, had unexpectedly returned to Seaforth. Knowing that I had my bins in the car, I took a quick diversion to the docks, but not being a Seaforth permit holder I went to Crosby Marine lake.
Within five minutes I had seen the bird, the only Swift present, flying over the perimetre fence and away over the marine lake. I dashed back to the car and made it back to the arena and was in my seat 10 minutes before Dylan emerged!
Pallid Swift is a Brit tick for me.
