Tell your MP #swift bricks will NEVER block or delay development ever. ITโ€™S JUST A BRICK that is a lifeline for birds reliant on our ๐Ÿ  to breed for birds whose nesting habitat is being destroyed without mitigation. Email [email protected] to get a template for your MP

Yesterday morning, while the Osprey were clearly taking a break, I noticed a group of dragonflies dancing above the water hyacinths. At first, they just looked like dragonflies, darting back and forth through the air. But when I took a closer look through my lens, I realized they

I often worry how much longer swift nest will continue to exist in our roof spaces? Roof repairs are inevitable, yet modern roofing practices exclude building dependent birds. Swift bricks could be the answer.

Last year, a Sheffield resident installed swift bricks in his home to give back to nature. Share if you think the government should make them mandatory in all new builds! Sheffield Swift Network

Our latest recovery is of a Fieldfare in Pielavesi, Finland which sadly died hitting glass in June. Geoff and team had ringed it at Ramsley Res in Oct 2020. It had travelled 1,974km and had likely done the same journey 10 times in its lifetime! ShefBirdStudyGroup Derbyshire Ornithological Society (DOS)

Every nest site really does make a difference. A HUGE thank you to everyone in South Yorkshire, who has provided a safe nesting space for our precious, Red-listed Swifts. Can you offer a forever nest in 2026? Get in touch with Sheffield Swift Network

We had the opportunity to speak about our passion for Swifts for the excellent 'Wild Tales' Podcast series from the National Trust. Of course we couldn't refuse. Chet Cunago and Flora Blackwater did us proud. ๐Ÿ‘‡ youtu.be/BGcbHRJp_xA?siโ€ฆ
