Have been away for a few days. There has been an adult sitting on the nest nearly all the time. Just got a glimpse of the unattended nest. Some new feather nest building so I can only confirm the one egg but suspect the other is hidden. Short clip showing this.

At least one adult has been on the nest most of yesterday evening and this morning. At about midday they both left revealing 2 eggs.

Still just the one camera. Yesterday was very surprised to find an egg on the nest. This afternoon windy and overcast with both adults on the nest so not able to see if still just the one egg. Yesterdays clip of the bedroom nest.

Due to various things only one camera this year and I am not able to monitor it as much as previous years. Tonight was the first night I have seen both the bedroom nest swifts on the nest. Yet another year they have both managed the long migration and successfully found their nest on return. It never fails to stagger me. Here is a clip showing them both.

The blog will be much less this year. One of the cameras has stopped working properly and being older than I was when it was first installed I can’t reach it. So I only have one camera. Also due to personal circumstances will not be blogging as often. On Thursday the 5th May saw my first swift on the nest. The bedroom nest is the only one I can monitor this year. Just the one swift and it may have been here for some time as I have been away. Short clip confirming my first view.
