Up until yesterday the swifts were out of the nest for most of the time. When the weather is warm they seem happy to leave the eggs alone. The last two days have been cold and wet so there has been one swift on the nest all the time swapping over from time to time to feed. this picture from the chimney nest 2 days ago shows, I think 2 eggs.

Then today at one of the many change overs I got this clip which I think shows 2 eggs in the bedroom nest.

I will only check if they are both out.

Two days ago while in the garden had the pleasure of 7 swifts screaming round the house. Not much had changed til I looked at the bedroom cam whilst the swifts were out to find 1 egg in the nest.7

It is not possible to look into the chimney nest so will have to wait and see what happens.

Been away and very busy for a few days. Was a bit concerned about the swifts in the bedroom nest as for several nights only one stayed in the nest over night. Reassured now as both stay over night and a lot of mutual preening. The other pair in the chimney nest spending a lot of time together. Interesting evening today. It was cold and both pairs snuggled up together when I saw 2 flying around the house. Immediately the 4 in the nest went to nest opening and appeared quite agitated. I guess this is a new pair. Lets hope they find another place in the attic to nest.

Firstly the pair in the bedroom nest preening each other and snuggled up as it is cold.

Now the pair looking out when the new pair were circling the house.

Greatly relieved this morning to find 2 swifts in the bedroom nest. Probably not as relieved as the singleton who had been waiting several days for its partner. I am still astounded to understand that since last July they had been apart, flown to Southern Africa for the winter then flown back to find the same small hole in the eves of our house and arrive within 2 or 3 days of each other. Here is the evidence.

I still find it amazing that they have not seen each other since last July. Separately they have flown to Sothern Africa for the winter then returned to find a small hole in our loft and arrive within 3 or 4 days of each other.  Here is the evidence.
