Been away for a few days. Weather has been warm even a little hot. The chicks are doing very well. Short clip from today.

Hottest day of the year by far. Yesterday got a short clip of the 2 chicks. They look very healthy. Away for a couple of days.

We have low cloud and drizzle today. It’s supposed to be sunny. The adults spending more and more time off the nest. I can’t remember if I mentioned 7 adults screaming round the house earlier in the week. As it’s cooler today the 2 chicks snuggled together.

At last we have some sun and heat. This morning there were 8 swifts screaming round the house before breaking into several smaller groups. A lovely sight. I now know only 2 chicks in the nest. Here is the evidence from yesterday.

Now sure there are 2 chicks in the nest. Had much better views today. Just a short clip showing them both with an adult.

I keep forgetting. I would love to know who is watching my blog. Please leave a comment for me. Thank you so much.

Still unsure as to how many chicks. Definitely 2 but still a maybe 3. Clip from today showing 2 I think.

Been away for a couple of days. Adults leaving chicks alone more often. They huddle up together and don’t move much. Watching closely for 30 mins I am sure there are 3 chicks. A clip of them in the nest but not easy to see all of them.

Very fortunate to catch the nest adult free again tonight. Managed to get a clip showing that there are definitely 3 chicks in the nest. One is much smaller than the other two but looks very healthy. If there is enough food two swifts can easily bring up 3 chicks.

Managed to get a view of the nest adult free. At least 2 chicks think just the two. One much bigger than the other. Not a great view as camera getting old. Here is the best clip.

Out all morning. During the afternoon while watching rugby managed to film a change over in the bedroom nest. Clip clearly shows at least 2 chicks doing well.
