Looks like my swallows have turned up .

They nest in the entrance porch and have to do a swift (no pun intended) set of aerobatics to avoid the Freelander when coming in and out. Put up some man made nests last autumn due to some sub standard building issues with local mud (African Trained those boys I guess) and its got them wondering who has been interfering.

So up side Swallows (and now rare in this village), downside months of bird on the motor and having to creep in and out or get shouted at.

Mine turned up the other day too

I thought they were house Martins though, tbh I don't know the difference, these are on my house so name fits Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I've got tits in my box!

This is a good watch - 24hr live watch Osprey nest. Two eggs at the moment and lots of trout being consumed on camera. Was a bit of a battle yesterday when a strange Osprey tried muscling in but Mr Osprey saw him off.

Not heard about the Red Kite. They only eat carrion so no threat to the who obviously has no brain if he is a gamekeeper or a shoot member.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Got to take that back. They are slapping mud all over my clay nest I put up. Obviously they are artisans and structural engineers.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
