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.

At least 2 chicks in the nest

Was watching this evening when a change over happened. The new adult fed what I am almost sure were 2 chicks. Will try to look more often to check the number of chicks.

Adult feeding what I think are at least 2 chicks.
A little later. Definitely 2 chicks.

Just had a great swift day. This morning had 8 swifts screaming round the house. At the same time one on the bedroom nest so at least 9 locally. This is before the second wave so great news. Looking at the chimney nest with the camera that doesn’t move saw the tips of wings so that nest is active. Then the bedroom nest swifts left together as there are 2 eggs and 1 very small chick.

Look carefully and you can see swift wing tips
Bedroom nest. A bit dark but 2 eggs and 1 very small chick.

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.
