Common Swift - webcam from booth
Camera occupying two booth boxes. Rorys is a small migratory bird, one of the best fighters. Besides the nesting season, she is constantly in the air, where she even sleeps, drinks, mates. He perfectly alternates a brisk flight with sailing, during which he takes a height of about one to two kilometers. During a flying flight, it drops into the micro-sleep, shuts off one half of the brain, the other controls the flight. The average flight speed is 35 km / h but can also reach 200 km / h.
It feeds mostly on flying insects. She arrives to us in April and May. He goes to winterfields in July and August.
Rorys originally nestled on the rocks and searched for the cavities of the trees. Currently he uses holes and slits in human constructions. Unfortunately, the current trend of building insulation threatens the rising population. Between 1898-2000 flights, the number of Prague rorys has decreased by 45%.

1.6. second egg in upper booth 🙂
in 6: 54: 30 is once again visible as it la
31.5. Egg in the bottom booth !!
So that's good, I was afraid I'll have to move them there, but 29.5. in 11: 19: 30 can be seen as probably being moved by the female itself.
Great, since morning I watched and did not want to move from the nest, just as I watch the stork ringing, so they go outside the nest and the egg is visible 😀
In 10: 05: 10 is even seen as a female lay an egg. It doesn't even look like this, mostly when they get out of the basin.
Thanks for warning Romene, beautiful!
So to my surprise they have the first egg in the upper booth. She's just out of line.
28.5. is 10: 04 and out of the bottom booth the swifts are not going out today. It could slowly be the first egg…
It'll probably come every day. Now it was in 11: 04 to see how the female had brought in her beak and glued him into the basin.
27.5. Somehow the 2 camera is fooling around
26.5. 20: 03: 10 Gradual Return to Booths
Yeah, sometimes there were some rough scenes, but in the end it looks like everyone has explained who they belong to.
24.5. I watched 6,38 to 19, 00, and it seemed like a lot of wild talk
24.5. in 7: 43 - riots continue in the first booth :-)
23. 5. about 21: 10 arrived third swift, 21: 55 fought, one of the swifts was eventually pushed out ... I think the "intruder" remained ... can anyone record it?
So it was a cruel fight, maybe a female fight for a nest and a male? I have no idea who remained, perhaps Roman will write to us. And I recently said that at least there would be peace ...
Well, I just don't understand ... if the women were fighting and the guy was watching or fighting guys ... after the winner's return, it seemed to me that the other two were not good, but now it almost looks like nothing has happened. And what about the poor guy sticking out, how did he end up ...
They weren't very close to each other, that's true, but it might have been stressed after the fight…
I can not decipher it, in some scenes it does not even. So hard to say. In any case, they are special birds :-) I also suspect that the intruder won. We'll see what happens in the morning with dawn, I think the original Swift will return there and the fight will continue, but who knows. Strangely enough, he flew right into this booth, as if one of them was messing with the booth because there was only one in the first one, so I think he was one of them. The Swedes are learning to fly to the booth for a while, they don't go as smoothly as they do.... read more
Thanks for the answer, Roman, it was so hard to recognize. Perhaps they will clear it up without injury.
We also thank the school ... today in the morning there was a passionate debate at the laptop, some children also saw it in the evening…
11: 21: The 46 female from the first booth flew out
They flew out of the second booth for a moment. I wonder, it is pouring and pouring from morning to day ...
You have noticed that today 22.5. can I return a record of 12 hours?
I hope it's not just some youtube bug that will fix it soon. I would like it this way :-)
I looked at several cameras and it looks like it's everywhere.
21.5. 19: 38 arrived another couple and in the first booth the female probably looks around again after a year :-)
Thanks to Roman, good news today
Well, after the rifles, it made me mood. So far I have been sitting outside, and I think the rest of the Swift has already arrived. There was a bigger flock here today. For example, there will be more to add to the two pairs this year,
20.5. 9: 55: 27 Gentle Nibbling… Yesterday I finally saw a flock of swifts in us (Litoměřice) 🙂
So it looks like the first camera is about to go ...
If it doesn't stop falling, I'll have to replace it.
20: 52 is both at home 🙂
So today is finally made better and swifts are practically all day hunting.
That's good I hope the weather is getting better and the second pair is coming soon.
16.5. Roman is great, that he is again doing the transfer work. Thank you for his explanation of the problems with the red-headed. In the lower nest, the female is already staying half a day, that she would be preparing for the clutch?
This year, because of the mad weather, swifts have no desire to leave the booth. In the rain, too much insects do not catch, so probably save energy. Nothing like that happened in the other years, and the swifts only slept the first few days after they arrived in the booth, never staying there much during the day. The rain is also the temperature from below the average and they do not do too well. Tomorrow, it should finally get warmer and clearer, so I believe the rest of the Swifts will come. And I hope the second couple will return to their empty booth soon.
Hello, we are watching your school classmate's booth - can we know in which city (or at least the district) the booth is located? Thank you.
Hello, that's great! Thanks for watching. My booths are on the line. house in town Ledec nad Sazavou district Havl. Ford.
Early Roman, wouldn't you like to share the technical solution of how to stream the box? What camera do you have, how do you drink it, how is it connected to the net, and how much does it work out?
Thank you
Hello Honza, it probably won't be a problem :-). The HW site is IP cameras for booths (plus I have one more "private" that takes me out of the booth) and I bought them from Chinese (ebay / aliexpress) for the price. I just needed to think of some parameters to get the right angle in the booth and to have an IR illumination, because there is quite little light on the color image in the booths. I'm still at work, but at home I can see what kind of type it was, I just know from the head that it has 1280 × 960 and cost something like a thousand. I have cameras in the router on my land... read more
Thank you very much for the information, at least we have an idea. Saturday 18. 5. they finally arrived to us (Rudná pod Pradědem) - nesting in a tenement house next to the school, so they liven up teaching in the garden. Thanks a lot for the transfer.
10: 30 camera goes 🙂
The failure was, unfortunately it took a while before I noticed it and revived it, I did some steps to avoid it repeatedly :-) Youtube is not ideal for these amateur long live broadcasts, but it will be better.
Thanks to Roman, on YouTube they have been dropping quite often.
16.5. camera failure
15.5. in 14: 17 arrived at the sleeping couple to see more swifts
So I configured a new broadcasting program and hope it will be free of artifacts and downtime. Time will show. Now the Swifts still sleep during the day, so I don't even remember cold May.
Thanks, Roman. This year it is really cold, I do not even wonder that they do not want from the booth 🙂
14.5. 8: 31: 58 The Swedes flew to stretch their wings
Now 13.5. there in 10: 22 was just a rehearsal :-)
Curious and had to look in both nests ška
Yes, it was a redstart. I have two three-chamber booths under the roof. And even though I have a 3 booth right for the redstart, where they normally nest for years, this year they liked the booths for the Swift. But the female couldn't choose from the six, and I saw on the camera trying to smash the hollows that the Swifts had laboriously put on. So I fly. the holes were blinded and I left her free 2 chambers. The strange thing was that she started to wear both of them in the bed, so I just left her one,... read more
Thank you for the explanation, the nests of the reptile under the pergola nested us, but the magpies multiplied and the young ate last year. Now he nests with his neighbors, but they fly to the garden. They also made more nests, a total of 4 and a female, after two completely finished one chose and nested there.
12.5. 9: 36 Visit in Booth 🙂 Redstart?
After a year, the swifts are here again, and the first couple arrived this morning in the booth and decided to spend the night in the booth and start the broadcast. It just has tiny flies and sometimes the address of the video changes over time, so you need to watch this channel:

Hello Roman,
thank you very much. This is not a problem with the address, I have set a YT alert. So let's do it and thank you again 🙂
Romene, thank you for your transfer !!!
You're welcome. So perhaps again in a year.
