I was talking about the one you thought you saw flying by. They are strictly summer visitors and you won't see them before about mid-April. They usually vacate the country by early August. We were in Lecce in Puglia for a week in June 2016. We marvelled on the roof terrace of our hotel at the big flocks of screaming swifts which we imagined were mopping up the mozzies that might have been eating us instead.
