Got the Swift box up, I situtated it on the north side of the house up under the sofit/eave as was suggested by www.swift-conservation.org, graphic was stolen taken from the swift conservation advice leaflet: https://www.swift-conservation.org/Leaflet_1_Swifts_Nest-boxes_at_Your_Home-small.pdf All this came about because of a community group in the village: https://www.cattistockvillage.co.uk/cattistock-community-website/the-great-outdoors/swift-action/
I had a tin of red gloss Humbrol paint that was just lounging in a draw. When I spotted it some time back I thought about doing the wheel centers and wheel nuts in red. I made start of the other day: I am thinking that I’ll clean up the wheel centers and do them in red also. I might remove the drop from the Land Rover text, not sure yet.
I have made us a Swift box that I plan on fitting to the back of the house.
Abigail made some plastic creations for school, with some help, she had the ideas and we just helped her make that a reality using hot glue and bits. It was good fun. I’d have liked to have tried floating the boat, but we never did, might have ruined it too had it not floated well. I did balast it a little in an effort to make it float upright rather than on it’s side!
