Lying on my back in the hammock this evening I noticed a distinct lack of
swifts, swallows and house martins in the sky.

I thought they migrated a bit later in the year.

Does anyone else still have them around?

We are in coastal Suffolk.

I think most Swifts have left us by now. Still lots of Swallows (and I mean
lots) around here - dozens flying about and sitting on the wires preparing
for the long journey.

I'm a bit north of you - North East Lincolnshire.
