Swifts' Nests
Swifts’ Nests
Courtyard garden bordered by Chemin du Closelet/Eugène Grasset and the English Church
nests
There are several swifts’ nests on the buildings at 5 and 7 Rue des Crêtes and on the buildings along Chemin des Lilas
On numerous occasions, I have observed a bat flying over the gardens
Every evening, from my balcony, I watch about ten bats flitting about; they come from the ivy-covered trees of La Vuachère
Bats fluttering above the Chemin du Mont-Tendre and heading toward the houses to the north, specifically nos. 12–14.
Two swifts returning to their nest, at the southeast corner just above the balcony (3rd floor)
Flight of Swifts
At least 3 nesting in crevices (entrances and exits observed) + about ten swifts have been flying around the building every year for the past ~10 years
Common Swift
Swifts flying around the house.
