Observation details
Hope this is right. Definitely a swift and assume based on location a Common Swift. Swift was flying over the tops of the Quarry in a circular or figure eight motion. Surprised this came up as rare, unless it is a bit early?? Based on pictures, not a swallow. Did not see forked tail in pics, which would have helped. One pic is from side and the other from below. Quarry cliffs were about 150-200 feet above us. It was raining and so pics into the sky and clouds showed silhouettes only.
