Another cold day. Swifts stayed in their nests until midday. This afternoon I moved the new camera to hopefully find the third nest. Then a long wait til around 5 pm when two swifts appeared in the new nest site. I will try to move the camera tomorrow to get it a bit closer. Unfortunately the main nest appears to be behind a redundant sparrow nest blocking the view. I don’t want to disturb it too much as it will protect the young swifts from falling out of the nest. Will look carefully tomorrow. 2 clips both showing an obvious swift but tail feathers from the other one can be seen behind the straw.
