Three flying quite low over Lyons lane/Eaves lane junction this morning -need to follow up where their nests are.

[gary lilley]

Swifts breed regular at 7 sites at eccleston , the church at mawdesley ( at the crossroads ) holds several pairs , at the croston the nelson pub holds several pairs and another site near to the yarrow next to church street , there is one nest site on the green at eccleston were the swifts are nesting behind a facia board and the gap is very tight the birds have to land on the render and squeeze themselves upwards behind the board to get to trhe nest great viewing .
