Hot and sunny all day.
Day spent rewiring the swift box and squirrel drey. The drey was a surprise as although aware twigs and soft material had been taken in during the Spring I had also noticed the squirrel taking a load out and moving to the leilandi tree. In the box was a very cosy set up and could not destroy such workmanship. Have left as is but with a workable camera that will now give me images on what is going on. Exciting days/months ahead I think.
Beggars belief re the swift box. Cable was in the guttering from box to monitor and the cable had been chewed. Can only assume the squirrel had something to do with this.
On switching on with new cable it was clear a bird had used the box but my guess a bird other than the swift.
Another day tomorrow working on the wiring and hopefully will have 16 in operation.
Enjoyed a bbq tonight, staying out until late sitting around the fire. Nice.
