Been away for a couple of days visiting Chelsea Flower Show. Stayed in Earls Court area and saw 3 swifts flying. Last night after arriving home had 4 swifts screaming round the house whilst 3 of mine were in the nest area. So 7 swifts locally. That’s the maximum I saw last year and I hear more are arriving. Two of the swifts were trying to get into the eaves fairly near the bedroom nest which upset the current occupiers causing a lot of screaming on the nest There has been one swift on each nest all day taking turns incubating the eggs. I did catch sight of the bedroom nest during a change and am delighted to see 3 eggs. Not much will change over the next couple of weeks.
