Complimenti . Sono felice nel vedere che ci sono persone che salvaguardano questa specie di uccelli . Qua nel mio paese fino a una decina di anni fa i rondoni nidificavano sui tetti delle chiese e dei condomini . Piano piano quei tetti sono stati ristrutturati modificando la struttura stessa e cosi impedendo la nidificazione . Non riesco piu' a vederne nemmeno uno e nemmeno deliziarmi delle loro picchiate e del loro garrire . Spero molto che il suo esempio venga seguito da molti .
Hi Nik - A very neat installation, nice work. Both my neighbour and I are putting up boxes this year. I hope that you and we are lucky enough to attract some of these amazing birds.
@@T_B1 The recordings do get a bit much. But we persevered for a few days a week. No luck though this year, but the recording was from a Berlin swift nest and perhaps the U.K. swifts were perplexed by what they heard as it may not have been their language?
@@jimicalorne3104 last year I played calls off my phone from a Dutch website the birds were interested with them. This year I used a CD from swift conservation with similar success. No nesters just birds flying close.
@@T_B1 Yes, very similar experience, we had some swifts circling overhead and some fly bys close to the boxes but no settlers. But I'm hoping that they may have been reconnoitring with a view to moving in next year. Fingers crossed.
One observation Nick. I notice you have a security light, if this is a working light it could put the swifts off. How did you do this year ? any interest ?
