Just spotted at least 12 #orchids in a section of grass verge next to Sgts Mess RAF Valley Is there any chance you could please amend your mowing regime to give them the chance to flower?

Very happy that this Suffolk location is putting up three Swift nest boxes. The adjacent cream house to the left has a Swift box which was used last year, so an excellent opportunity to expand the colony there. Swift conservation works ⁦Suffolk Bird Group⁩ SuffolkWildlifeTrust⁩

The playing of Swifts’ calls is very, very important in helping the younger non-breeding Swifts find a future place to nest. There will also be returning adult Swifts blocked out of their previous nest sites by building work. If you need help, get in contact now Suffolk Bird Group
