Chimney Swifts

We're delighted to say that there are a number chimneys in town that are currently harbouring swifts. Interestingly enough, one of the chimneys in question was not one that we had identified as a likely candidate.

It's on an older house, and rather than having a visibly large chimney, it has two flues in one masonry chimney, and one of which is filled with a flue liner. Our guess is that the chimney is not lined all the way down, but simply has a large hollow masonry stack, and two ceramic flues on top. It probably opens out inside, and that gives the birds enough room to manoeuvre.

We have see a number of birds flying in and out of the chimney, so we know it's usable!
