Hi me_domchan,
 
多 謝 報 料 和 現 場 的 相 片 !  
 
人 工 巢 箱 是 AFCD 和 大 埔 環 保 協 進 會 進 行 的 試 驗 計 劃 , 如 有 小 白 腰 雨 燕 使 用 是 好 消 息 。  
 
Thank you for your information and photos. AFCD and Tai Po Environmental Association carry out the artificial nest project. It is a good starting if Swift to use it.
 
燕 子 小 組 會 跟 進 , 和 希 望 各 位 鳥 友 繼 續 報 料 。  
 
SSG will follow up and hope to receive more information about Swifts and Swallows from all of you.

You are very welcome.  
 
May I ask why the dead swifts were hanging outside the nest? is it normal?
