Well if they scream, I don't think that they are foraging.
Anyway it is quite easy to see when they are feeding that low.
You can even hear their bills snapping the insects.
Maybe an ant-nest was releasing the young queens in the neighbourhood ?
They are very fond of that kind of food, and sometimes feed on them quite lowly, as I could see last month in the street next to my mother's home.

I was mowing the lawn earlier today, it was a hot sunny mornin, approx 11.00am. I was very interested the the reaction of the swifts in our area. They were flying very low above my head, less than meters, screaming, almost in a frenzy. I can only assume they were feeding on the insects rising from the lawn being cut. Has anyone else noticed this behavour ?
Regards.
Dave.
