I think bats will have been out of hibernation last month due to the weather. Quite amazing as I wouldnt expect to see any until the end of April in a normal year

Diane is correct but even though I am N Ireland's swift promoter I lumped them. Swifts and Hummingbirds are Apodiformes. The is from the Greek apous meaning without feet

I saw two two and that means teo swallows do make a summer!

Does anyone have swifts nesting in their local area? Could you help with a nest box scheme?

Hi Mark, a four in one nest box schematic for Apus apus.
