Swifts / House Martins

 I’ve got a wasp nest (again) in one side of a double Swift box this year don’t think the Swifts are nesting in it this year although I have seen them go in unfortunately the wasps have built their nest on  the camera and I can’t see what’s going on, the Swifts fledged last year despite the wasp’s. The other four Swift boxes are all doing ok

. The saddest story is the Hs Martins down to one pair and they have only just started pairing if I see a Hs Martin in the air out the back of my garden this year I know it’s off my house because there are no others to be seen here, fourteen pair a few years ago with hundreds at the end of the season a real shame let’s hope they recover
