Was quite excited on Friday last when I counted 8 swifts screaming round the house. I have been out a lot but have only seen up to three at one time since then.

Feeling a bit sad at the moment. The camera on last years nest where 2 swifts fledged successfully I have only seen one swift. It is out all day and returns around dusk and stays the night alone. This is particularly sad as I believed that last year. was their first year and I am beginning to believe that one of the pair has not made it back.

A short video from tonight.

The other nest has a new camera. I have had to place the camera further away both to focus and to cover a larger area used by the swifts. I have seen two swifts on this nest but only one for the last two nights. A longer video giving a view of the area where the nest is.
