I have been looking out for the return of our swifts for a couple of weeks. We were in Florence for a few days in the middle of April and the morning and evening skies were full of hundreds of swifts. I returned home from a few days grand child sitting this afternoon and the first thing I heard getting out of the car was 4 screaming swifts flying around the house. I have invested in another IP camera so I have both the nests I filmed last year covered. The new camera is a bit too near the nest and is a little out of focus so will need to move it over the next few days. I was delighted to find that the nest with the new camera had 2 swifts in it busily preening each other but only one swift in the main nest from last year. Firstly from the new camera.
