Built-in observation box
The nest box northerly
Results
7 eggs
2 young Common Swifts

  Just as last year this nest box is occupied first and at once by 2 birds.
Also this year they are as early as last year, at 25 April. Again this year it is, at the start, not clear what all happened. During the laying of the first 3 eggs there just are hostile take-overs, all 3 eggs are loosed.
After this, they are laying 2 eggs and after 27 days of breading it ends because the eggs didn’t come out.
After this there will be, in contrary to expectations, a new start for a second lying with the result of 2 young Common Swifts.
The whole breading season of this nest box is, also this year, lay down by the detect system.
