Good things come to those who don't wait.

Listen to your favourite podcasts first on BBC Sounds hello and thank you

very much for downloading the Scotland Outdoors podcast I'm Mark Stephen he's you in

McElroy yeah fantastic week yet again and I've been on the trail of another

monster yet another monster well Scotland's full of monsters well Well, in your head it is. Coming up,

they eat at a house and home, leave their dirty washer lying around, but it seems that nobody

really wants an empty nest. They don't get driven out really. We often used to think the adults

chase the youngsters away, but they like each other's company, and the youngster is certainly

going to be around here through the autumn, and even into into next season sometimes they're still loitering like an annoying teenager who

won't leave home more on the family politics as sea eagles coming up not sea eagles but just the

other day i was working on my roof and i heard swift, which means nothing to anybody else except me.

I have never ever, in 26 years, seen a Swift above my house.

And they were swarming up there.

I don't know what was causing.

Heading down to Africa.

It's possible.

If you're listening to this outdoors podcast in Africa, can you move our swift back, please?

Please, please. Can we have us with back?
