Re: Bird Watching
Aye Rindy they do, as I said where we live they're nesting in the eaves & some evenings you can be standing out on the balcony & you'll get a flight of 5-6 come whizzing past your head by about 2ft, really impressive.
As to the heights, when its fine, hot & clear all the biddies are up in the air so the Swifts chase them high up, but when the barometer falls & the pressure increases you can see swarms of biddies alongside the house/Chimney & just off the railings so the birds come in really close to snatch them up.
Every year we get one or two of the younger birds in the house as they haven't quite mastered the skills of skimming along the walls without flying into the recesses where the windows are & ending up in one of the rooms, in actual fact 2 weeks back we had a young un' come in through the front & end up in the kitchen, don't know who was more surprised the dog or the bird.
