Just before dark, a Swift (presumably a young bird, but couldn’t be sure) flew out from the roof (I think), and landed on the grass in the church. Either way, there was a Swift on the ground. Never seen such a thing before. It took off without too much effort (contrary to what some believe is capable of a Common Swift).
The first Painted Lady in the garden this year was found earlier in the day on the Buddleia.
