The young swifts started to peer out yesterday so they will probably fledge tomorrow. This video shows the chick on left and adult on right. #swifts #apusapus #birds

So lucky to have swifts nesting since 2022. Just one pair but hopefully it's the start of a colony.

Managed to video this beautiful hoopoe preening whilst I had lunch. Always the best views when least expected! #tavira #algarve
