Swallows 2016

[Pat "5mph"]

the little birdies!

At least the tub will be warmer than that ally ladder.

A bit late for this year but have you experimented with an equally-shallow tub open side up? Maybe a potential nest frame would discourage nest building but it would be interesting to know if you've tried it.

Loving this thread already.

Coming on nicely.

 

[summerdays]

They seem to be more together this year and getting on with the task in comparison to last years dithering...

 

[Hill Wimp]

They know we are watching and have upped their game.

 

[Hill Wimp]

Very snug.

 

[summerdays]

And how would egg laying in the next couple of days compare yo previous years?

Swallows can be NIMBYs too?

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Swallows can be NIMBYs too?

They can't work out which nesting family is a rung below because the ladder's horizontal, innit?

 

[summerdays]

But they already have the penthouse suite?

Do you have another set of ladders or are swallows your excuse for getting out of lots of jobs around the house?

 

[Beebo]

So you stole my Cadbury mini eggs.

 

[Hill Wimp]

We need to club together and get this garage rigged for sight and sound.

Springwatch has nothing on this thread.

Thank you so much @User9609. I am looking forward to watching those eggs hatch.
