Lovely news today. First thing they had already left the nest. We were out this morning but a quick check at 1.30pm found a pair of swifts in the chimney nest obviously comfortable with each other. We now have a pair on both nests with cameras. I will try to see if we have any more but it involves sitting outside at a time when they are flying around the house. As it’s still cold I believe they are still flying off to find food.

A short clip of the pair in the chimney nest.

I was wrong. I just quickly looked at the cam view above ant thought I saw 4 wings. What I saw was 2 pairs of wing feathers. The poor swift is spending most of his or her time at “home” building and tidying the nest.

An extra clip of the other two exploring the nest site.
