After a couple of false starts, because of weather and COVID restrictions, it is with much relief we can announce that all the nest boxes from Tayside Biodiversity Partnership were erected yesterday and today. It looked, for a time, that it might all have to be done in torrential rain but the rain abated and we got started at Ardvreck School on Monday morning. The Ardvreck and Hosh swifts we will follow in more detail in coming seasons.

Daniéle Muir and Mike from Alba Platforms did an amazing job in often difficult circumstances. Now we need to make sure all the nests are supported with call systems, ready for next May!

After a protracted delay the Tayside Biodiversity Partnership swift nest-boxes are going to be installed on Monday and Tuesday at various locations around Crieff Crieff. More information with be forthcoming but look out for the cherry-picker at work over the next couple of days.
