Field Notes

Description:

In the spring this is a nestbox for starlings, but later in the summer it's been occupied by this bird. It's almost impossible to spot when he flies, very fast...even when entering the nestbox.

Notes:

Norwegian name: Tårnseiler

I have the same feeling:-) It seems like they come back year after year to the same nestbox.

I love this birds, always flying. I've tried to make photos of them but for me ( and my camera :) is impossible. Thanks for sharing!
