Annual report nest box 10 2006 Eilenbergcolony.

	At April 25 the first Common Swift from South - Africa comes back into this nest box. The early date is a new record for the Eilenbergcolony. Just as last year, one of the 2 Common Swifts that started in the nest box is new. At May 4 they corrected it by a fight. I concluded it by the behaviour of the Common Swifts. From now on, everything goes by the book, until June 14, a hostile take over will be fatal for one of the young Common Swifts. He/she gets injured so much during the fight that he/she died somewhere after June 22.
