Nest building

The pair in Box 1 have now started incubating on just the two eggs, so we expect to see the young swifts hatching any time from around the 20th June.

Meanwhile, the new pair in Box 6 continue to bring in feathers and in the photo below you can see the start of a circular nest cup in the top right hand corner of the box. They bring in feathers and stick them down with saliva, I hope to get a video of this at some stage.
