Sorry its been a few days. Up until today the weather has been great. Plenty of food and both chicks growing fast. Today has been wet and windy. I read today from the Oxford University Museum of Natural History where they have a swift tower with cameras and have been ringing swifts for 50 years that my experience this Because of the weather the breeding season has been extended. Usually they have all gone by mid August but they expect to still have swifts fledging in September. Its nice to have your own thoughts confirmed by experts in the field. Some photos from the nest. All very similar as I don’t want to spend too much time in the eves disturbing them.

These are uncropped but heavy removal of shadows as flash is behind a beam. Now a couple of clips. The first shows a common sight with the two chicks patiently waiting for food.

The second shows the second adult arriving for the night I expect as its raining outside. Now 19.30.

Not much room for four swifts!
