A swift exit

Last Sunday, I found a juvenile Swift dead on the road in Newark, below a spot where they traditionally nest. It looked like it had probably left the nest too soon, as it was rather small. I found another dead juv Swift today, this time on the track down to Meering. It was still warm when I picked it up, and had a bloody mouth. I can only assume it was hit by a car.
