Swifts weigh as little as a Cadbury’s Crème Egg and once fledged will not land for 2 years. Last year's brood migrated off to southern Africa and will return, joining their parents who will be arriving soon. Swifts feed, sleep and even mate on the wing, only ever landing to breed
SOSSwifts have a talk tomorrow evening as below, all are most welcome to attend. Learn about Swifts, their plight and how easy it is to conserve them. @SuffolkBirdGrp @suffolkwildlife
Straying slightly off topic but fantastic county-wide work here to help Suffolk’s Barn Owls and @SuffolkBirdGrp also have a House Martin project underway. Find out more at a Suffolk Bird Group event; guided walk or indoor talk. @sallybirding @JennyA_Rawson
A unique breakfast today representing BOSS (Barn Owl Sport Suffolk) with @DPearsons who gave a fantastic talk on Barn Owls. Big thanks to Dave and the Laxfield Royal Oak for hosting! @SuffolkBirdGrp
Suffolk Bird Group have this talk later this month. SOSSwifts will be there with nest boxes and will be happy to give help and advice. SOSSwifts also have free Swift Community Sets available for suitable prominent elevations of public buildings; multiple nest boxes+call system
Off topic slightly, but we can do all the bird conservation practicable for it not to count if the law isn’t used to protect them from persecution.

Save Our Suffolk Swifts have a Swift talk in Gt. Finborough, IP14 3AE by Stowmarket on the 14th November at 19:30. Learn about Swifts & how easy it is to ease their plight. @SuffolkBirdGrp @suffolkwildlife SOSSwifts have nest boxes in stock & offer free surveys & advice
Slightly off topic, but a superb spectacle
It is officially swift season! This time of year, Vaux’s swifts that breed in the Pacific Northwest can be seen preparing to roost at sunset, impressively swirling and chirping in unison above old chimneys during their fall migration to Central America.
At least 8 new Swift nestboxes have been installed in Kelsale village, Suffolk, this morning, with the assistance of specialist services using a retired but fully-functional fire engine! @suffolkwildlife @SoSSwifts @SuffolkBirdGrp @BTO_Suffolk @WriterHannahBT
After a quiet couple of days , one swift soaring tonight , chicks still chirping in box @SoSSwifts
A late-ish Swift adult and chick in a nestbox at Kelsale, Suffolk today (15th August 2024). Interesting to note that this box was occupied for the first time this year... @SoSSwifts @swifts_uk @BTO_Suffolk
BOSS (Barn Owl Support Suffolk) repaired three existing owl boxes and installed 3 new ones on an organic Suffolk farm. This project’s success is bolstered by passionate people dedicated to Barn Owl Conservation; farming and wildlife can harmonize. @BTO_Suffolk @SuffolkBirdGrp
STILL 2 swifts this eve , plus chicks chirping from the box 😁 @SoSSwifts
Quiet for swifts today in Grundisburgh , adults still regularly feeding young in boxes 😁@SoSSwifts
Swifts silently soaring , popped inside and heard a bump as swift returned to box, roosting with chicks perhaps ? 😊 #enjoythemwhileyoucan @SoSSwifts
Whilst in Blaxhall Church near Snape today .. Suffolk has embraced Swift Community Sets. Often seen here. 💫
I had Swifts looking oot of ma box last night too Charles, brilliant ! 💙💙😉
Suffolk Bird Group stalwart John Turner has been donating his time making Swift nest boxes for SOSSwifts over the past year. Incredibly these are the 399th and 400th ones he’s made with all distributed, mainly for Swift Community Sets. Amazing!! @SuffolkBirdGrp @suffolkwildlife
2 Swiftlets have fledged; Wednesday evening & 1 yesterday morning leaving a singleton being fed by its parents. The 2 young in my other camera box are less developed and still have a few days to go, initially eggs were rejected here & the female Swift relaid @ezany2000 @JustZant
Good news! At least 4 of the 8 nestboxes that I installed in Kelsale village centre in 1999 are now occupied by nesting Swifts. Here's one of this year's chicks getting ready to fly... any day soon! @SoSSwifts @SuffolkBirdGrp @suffolkwildlife @swifts_uk @BTO_Suffolk
Its taking a while for our family to process the loss of our dear brother Steve. The outpouring of love and support has been amazing and for that I would like to thank you all. It is hard to say goodbye. Tribute to Steve Piotrowski, 1951 - 2024. stevenpiotrowski.muchloved.com
