An early Swift

Whilst sat on the bus this afternoon at the traffic lights on Beaumond Cross in Newark, I glanced up to see a Common Swift riding the wind above the junction, before shooting out of sight - my earliest Swift since at least 1998 (and possibly ever?). I then popped out to Cotham Flash, where there were 2 Yellow Wagtails and my first 3 Northern Wheatears of the year in the horse paddock to the south, with 8 Lapwings (4 pairs) and a Snipe in the fallow field.
