Swift Half SWIFTS update - 27th June 2011

• Another very hot day in Berkshire - which meant the chicks were once again very restless in the roof - moving about and panting a lot, in another bid to lose heat.
• I've just uploaded clip number thirty-six onto the website, showing the female swift feeding the youngest chick a huge gob-full of insects, (I've slowed that part of the clip down to 50% speed again, so the viewer can appreciate the action) followed by the male coming in and feeding the youngest of the two chicks again  - leaving the older chick without a feed this time - which it seems to complain about as the male leaves!
• I think it'll be cooler for the rest of the week - which will make life in the roof far more bearable for our growing swifts!
