Our first swift arrived home to Box 1 yesterday evening, hooray! About a week or so late this time but it's a start and we are now awaiting the arrival of its partner, along with the pair from Box 3. Here's a short video taken this morning, huddled up in its feather duvet - it's obviously waiting for the weather to warm up a bit before it ventures out again....
Very nice to be able to watch Swifts in their artificial nests (I'm assuming these are somehow incorporated in your brickwork), and good to see that they are working. I hope this encourages others to do the same!
ReplyDeleteNo Itinerant Birder, these are homemade nestboxes that are sited under our eaves, but not incorporated into the brickwork.
