#Swifts

“I’ve always loved birds. They are the coolest thing on the planet.” #NatureNeedsYou author and #swifts campaigner @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social speaks to @theobserveruk.bsky.social about the nation's increased interest in our feathered friends: observer.co.uk/news/nationa... #birds

Still here. #swifts @levparikian.bsky.social

Two #Swifts were flying above De Montfort Road, #Lewes, tonight and we saw one enter the same box as last night again. Piers saw two flying over the reservoir in Western Road. We heard scratching from the box at our house just as we set out on our survey and one Swift peeked out.

Too far for us 😁 You might like my posts from last evening on the subject of #Swifts

#birds #swifts #nature see my previous post about the local village hall installing a swift box and playing swift calls 🥰

The site is ideally placed near the church, where swifts already nest So nice to see the Parish Council and hall trustees being so proactive 🤞 #swifts #nature #wildlife #birds see next post...

Two #Swifts seen at the entrance to our nest box at 10.00 a.m. and one Swift seen entering at 3.00 p.m. - but tonight no Swifts at all seen in our survey area in #Lewes between 7.20-9.10 p.m! Photo from last year because we weren't quick enough this morning.

Cllr Sue Tyldesley, Cabinet Member for planning, is delighted at Lancaster City Council's adoption of her proposal, seconded by Labour Cllr Louis Belcher, for awareness and measures to mitigate the decline in the swift population. #Swifts #Birds #RSPB #SwiftCity #nestbox #swiftbricks 1/5

Waiting for the swifts ....Or did they live for their epic journey already.... #uk #congo return ticket #swifts

For the first evening since 30th April we didn't see any #Swifts entering a nest in #Lewes! During the day, they returned into the box at our house four times. The second time, one wing was hanging out of the box as if a parent Swift was feeding a chick.

Four #swifts on high. Most I've seen all year.

Today we saw some of the few remaining #Swifts entering nest boxes in Valence Road and De Montfort Road, and under the eaves to two nests in Western Road. One Swift entered a nest box in Sun Street that we installed in December 2023. Now 96 nests in #Lewes, 21 in boxes.
