Sorry its been such a long time since my last blog. We have been away again and have not been able to access cameras. Lots has happened. Very soon after the last post there were only 2 chicks in the bedroom nest and only one in the other nest. I have briefly been home over the last week and on one occasion could only see 1 in the bedroom nest. Went into the attic to find that one chick had gone walkabout and had got stuck under a board. Following other swift blogs I had heard that an abandoned chick had been moved to another and successfully adopted and fledged. With that knowledge I felt confident to pick it up and return it to its nest. This was late last week and it is well and being fed.

Two short clips firstly from bedroom nest showing the 2 chicks.

Second clip from the chimney nest. With only one to feed note how much bigger this one is as they hatched at the same time.
