Swallows have returned again this year and are nesting at two sites.Two cameras are in operation and chicks have hatched in both nests.Both sets of chicks, a total of 8 have since successfully fledged.Both pairs of parent swallows have now built second nests and hatched a second clutch, the passageway chicks have now fledged but can be seen at times on the cable to the webcam. The outhouse chicks hatched 17th Aug. There were only 2 but one fell out of the nest and died. The remaining one is being fed prodigiously by the parents.

Swallows at Sunnyside
House, Hatton, Derbyshire
|
Up to 2008, swallows had nested
here every year for 12 years, producing up to two clutches of young.
Unfortunately in 2008, magpies took the first clutch and killed the
sitting swallow. No swallows nested in 2009, but in 2010 a pair
built a new nest in an outhouse.
Unfortunately, chicks hatched on 28th June 2010 were taken when magpies looted the nest at dawn on 29th. The swallows relocated to an existing nest nearby and successfully reared 3 chicks.
On 26th April 2011, the swallows returned and have renovated the nest and laid eggs.
A second nest has been built by another pair of swallows in a nearby outhouse and this will also be monitored.
