Little Swift

Yesterday I spent all afternoon stuck at work and praying that the Little Swift at Hartlepool would go to roost. Luckily it did ad I was there before dawn to see it sleeping below the eaves of a bow window on Cliff Terrace. As it got light it started to twitch, then launched itself into the air and towards the sea. After going missing for a few minutes it spent the next two hours bombing backwards and forwards along the promenade. Unbelievable views as it frequently flew past less than three feet away. Incredibly hard to photograph, the following were all I had from 1250 blurs.
