I've never heard one in Milton before. There were several calling at Wicken Fen yesterday, and last Monday. They've been in the county since at least April 10th. I haven't heard any, or heard of any, in Milton this year so far. I *think* I heard one in Milton a few years ago, down by the railway line, but I'm not 100% certain.

There's nothing in Milton in the CBC screaming swift survey (http://tinyurl.com/screamingswifts) but if you do find a colony please do let them know. -- Simon
