A while ago I once posted a thread on Swifts and was given a website to visit belonging to a guy in Germany. He had great designs for nest boxes. I have lost the link. Anyone out there know it?
Much appreciated.
 
It doesnt look the same but maybe he`s redesigned it. I`ve e.mailed anyway.
I am fortunate enough to get swifts drop by every summer and nest in our eaves. Sadly over the space of 3 years we have noticed that people on our road have been blocking their access. This guy had brilliant plans for building swift boxes and I thought if we could offer extra nesting space and also maybe encourage our neighbors to do so aswell.
Thanx.
