A group of three Swifts at window height from the fifth floor of the Barbour Building in central Paisley was the highlight of a busy work day.
They must come close to being my favourite bird. They have a 'presence' which Swallows and martins don't have. Perhaps it is the screaming call, or the reckless, break-neck flight, but they never fail to lift my spirits. I often say that you can measure the quality of a Scottish summer by how many 'Swift days' you have. Four out of the past four is a good start.
