In the best year they had three broods with two or three youngsters managing to fledge however last year was the worst ever when the adults arrived late and after several days of inspecting the nests they left never to be seen again.

Thankfully they had not gone for good and two youngsters have just fledged and are gaining experience by flying around the rafters
