Nest on Overhang Partition 燕窝造在悬吊隔板上



This week was busy on regular BH inspection and harvesting, spent a lot of time in travelling to north then down to south. Some photos taken during this trip, this one is a bit rare that I like to share.

An overhang partition using very thin ply wood installed in this populated BH few months ago, the intention was to reduce sunlight further going into the room as this room is quite near to the 2nd hole. This room was actually populated, but I was thinking to boost it further. Overhang partition will actually cause less impact to the flying path, those swiftlet can still fly through underneath.

This is something unexpected, swiftlets built nest on it and now 2nd nest is under construction. Now trouble for me on how to maintain this thin piece of plywood for many years, I know more and more nests will appear next to them very soon. When we do the right upgrading, your swiftlet will tell you they love it in return with their nests

这星期都忙于燕屋定期检查和燕窝收割,花了许多时间在驾车路程,前往北上又南下。这次过程拍了一些照片,这一张是较少见的,我想和大家分享。

几个月前我使用非常薄的普通悬吊隔板安装在这间旧燕屋,意图是为了进一步减少阳光进入一间造窝房因为这个房间是相当接近第二个洞。这个造窝房其实已有燕群,但我心想进一步提升它。后来加上悬吊隔板对燕子飞行路径影响较小的,因为那些燕子仍然可以在下面飞过。

这是意想不到的事情,燕子在隔板上面造窝,而且现在第二个窝已正在建设。我现在烦恼要在如何维持这薄隔板长年,我知道更多的燕窝很快会在他们旁边出现。当我们做出正确的升级,你的燕子会他们用自己的窝告诉你和回报你。
