Managed to get a glimpse of the nest this morning as the adult was moving. There are 3 eggs on the nest. This morning while one was on the nest there were 6 flying round the house. Just got a clip soon after one returned to the nest so at least some movement. I note that a couple of people are following me. Would be lovely to know who you are so please leave a message. Thanks.

Been away for a couple of days grand child minding. All day today at least one swift on the bedroom nest so no view of the eggs. I have a camera that doesn’t move any more some distance from the chimney nest and saw a swift at that nest.

If you look really carefully there is the end of a swift wing.

Still having trouble with cameras this year. As we are hopefully moving this year I will use what I have. There have been reports of returning swifts for about 10 days. So I have been watching the one rather dark working camera and was rewarded tonight. It was lovely as they both arrived on the same day within an hour of each other. I have a long distance camera on the chimney nest but not sure if we will see anything with it. A video of the newly arrived bedroom nest pair.
