Hi all I also enquired about why European enthusiasts did not build "blank" structures for swifts to use to build nests. I would like to extend the notion to...

I don't think (temporary) cold is a big issue for Swifts. Heat is much more of a problem. The eggs can cope with a period of cooling, even for some days. ...
I'm very suprised to see three young and not two in my monitored swift nest. They are a week old now and to big to hide behind the rim of the nest. So coocoo!...
Dear Swift Friends, I'm not sure who took this fine photograph, but would it be possible to use it on our London's Swifts web site, and specifically, to use...
