Thanks so much Wendy for showing all the highlights of this brood they are so nice to watch again & would you believe it Mum & Dad are back again tonight 23/24 turned up way past 9pm lovely to see them, thanks again.
Thanks Nick, unfortunately missed them coming in last night but will do a vid of them leaving this morning ... such a bonus being able to see their actions with no youngsters to care for, be sad when they finally leave these shores
What character & strength Little Chick had & made me laugh at his antics to, who knew a bird could moonwalk? We will miss you little feller, well I think it's a little boy, gotta be?
Thanks for all your kind comments Nick, so pleased you enjoyed the vids as much as I did in making them to share with others & keep for posterity, my first time with UK Swift cam & privileged to be able to witness all the action!😀
@@wendybartter1687 Have you got a clip of what I call the pyramid of chicks on the nest cup, 2 older chicks below & little chick sitting on top of them all facing the camera, it happened a few times & was a great picture I should have taken a screen shot but never did, great if you have got this & post on youtube?
@@nicklyles8098 I do remember including that pile of chicks in one of my vids Nick but it would take some searching out, do you have access to my channel, if you subscribe then all vids should be accessable
@@wendybartter1687 Its similar but not the one I was thinking of, Little chick nitrally sat on the top of the 2 larger chicks forming a pyramid facing the camera it only occured 2/3 times, I think I noted as a cute view or similar to watch in comments? I have clicked subscribed ALL (never used before so what happens now?)
This was the saddest thing to see from this brood, the actions of the parent with the food are heart breaking to watch, it even left the box & came back later still with the food in its mouth in the hope the chick would be their to feed, sadly it had already fledged 7/8 minutes earlier. The parent had the food in its mouth for I think it was over half an hour in the hope of feeding it. In the end the parent slowly gulped it down & eat it itself.😥😥
Been so wet/windy/cool almost everywhere, my heart goes out to all nesting birds as the insect count is just so low for this time of year , quite frightening really, such a lack of bees & butterflies too!😪
