Amidst these hate fuelled times, a little hope and a little light as a single swift flies into his new world.


Linda and Martin of Leeds Swifts were on ITV Calendar this evening. Catch an excerpt below or click the link here for the full report: itv.com/watch/news/cat… (archived here: vimeo.com/995532208)

The two Swiftlings are growing well and looking super-cute and more Swift-like with every day. Now just over three weeks old. @York_Swifts


Linda and Martin from @LeedsSwifts (and of course Baxter) were filming today with wildlife cameraman and BBC presenter @HamzaYassin3 for a forthcoming BBC series to be shown next year

Who loves #Swifts ? Check out my brand new episode I took to @GlobalBirdfair . I make these myself and have the wonderful @_BTO fact check them too. I’d really appreciate if you could help me share these to reach kids & families to get them in to nature! youtu.be/7u4pH-kpagA?fe…

Having fallen (or jumped?) from their nest during the heatwave, Sid n Nancy arrived in the small hours, both suffering critical dehydration. After 36 hrs of gentle care & fluids I was overjoyed to hear Sid singing for his breakfast this am, Nancy obliged 6 hrs later. The relief


David Faraday, Tech Director of @Redrowhomes Wakefield (covering WY area) has committed to “…installing the nest bricks on all new phases of existing developments from September 24.” *Not just devs planned from Sept! Thanks go to Redrow 🙌

Fantastic news! @Redrowhomes have signed up to the Future Homes Hub, meaning that all their building works from September will incorporate one swift brick for every new home built. Well done Redrow! @swifts_uk @ChrisGPackham Thread 1/2
