A selection of photographs from my Swift nest box camera. The 2 eggs should hatch any day now. The young will fledge in about 6 week’s time. The photographs of Swifts screaming show the birds reacting to non breeding Swifts who are checking out potential nest sites. These younger birds are not yet mature enough to breed and are probably also practicing approach and landing.

Too cold for Swifts to feed

My Swifts have not left the nest box today. A finely balanced decision between using energy to fly and finding enough flies to make doing so worthwhile.

Swifts back in the camera nest box

The Swifts were reunited in their nest box last week and have quickly settled down to build a nest. They can only gather airborne material, mainly feathers at the moment. Much of their time is spent mutual preening on the nest.
