Of these recovered dead the one that I was most disappointed with was the Swift. I ringed it at RSPCA Oak & Furrows before it was released. When released it was perfectly well and flew off strongly. Unfortunately, it was hit by a vehicle whilst hawking for insects less than 1km from my house, and euthanised by the veterinary practice in Purton.
