Some wonderful sights tonight at St. Anne's Church with screaming fly-pasts, some banging by prospecting #Swifts and a new nest 13. New third nest in King Henry's Road too. That makes 72 nests in #Lewes!

Followed a group of 12 screaming #Swifts around our survey patch at the top of #Lewes tonight. Entries to four of the nests at St. Anne's Church. Another nest was reported in The Avenue yesterday, making 73 nests altogether.

We have had #Swifts screaming around Valence Road,#Lewes, all day! Tonight there were 15 screaming around the crossroads near the shop. We saw marvellous screaming fly-pasts at St. Anne's Church and later around the junction of Western Road and Spital Road too.

11.00 a.m. Six #Swifts screaming over The Maltings, #Lewes, and across the bowling green several times. It's a lovely time of year for seeing Swifts during the day, when you can have a much clearer look at them!

2.00 p.m. today, three #Swifts hurtling past our nest box repeatedly. No entries - but we think they have noticed it! At 12.00 Nick watched 7 Swifts bombarding the house at the top of St. Swithun's Lane, #Lewes, and saw entries to two new nests there, (blue marks on photograph).

After 3 wonderful days of #Swifts screaming and circling around our #Lewes house and getting close to our nest box, tonight at 6.40 p.m. one went in the entrance on the RH side of our double box. The photo shows another one showing an interest in the other entrance.

Thank you very much to Dinah Lee Morgan, a local artist, for a substantial donation to #Lewes Urban Arboretum. Dinah shared the profits from her "Only Human" exhibition because she wanted to do something to help the #trees in our Arboretum Town to flourish.

We had lovely weather for our first guided walk around the #trees in Southover Grange Gardens this afternoon! Part of #Lewes Tree Festival: friends-of-lewes.org.uk/2025/02/20/tre…

The three #trees that we planted in Highdown Road, #Lewes, in November 2018 are doing well this year. Left to right: Acer campestre "Louisa Red Shine, (Field Maple), Ginkgo biloba, (Maidenhair Tree), and Sorbus aria Magnifica, (Whitebeam).

Happy Sussex Day to all our #Swifts and all their Supporters from #Lewes Swift Supporters!

Another very pleasant day for our second guided walk of the #Lewes #Tree Festival - around the Railway Land!

Nice article theguardian.com/environment/20…

Without trees, it's hard to believe just how toxic our air would become. Clean Air Day seems like the perfect day to highlight how trees make our air breathable, especially in urban areas. Will you join us on our urban greening mission?

This Lime #tree in De Montfort Road, #Lewes, smells delicious and it is buzzing with bees!

At Southover School Fair, #Lewes, this afternoon, we had a chance to see how much the little #trees in the wildlife hedge had grown! We planted most of it in January 2022, with each of the pupils of Southover and Western Road Schools planting at least one native whip.

Lots of #Swift activity around Valence Road and one entry to the box at our house and one to the old shop. Entries to 4 nests at St Anne's Church, where we met up with the third #Lewes Swift Walk. 14 Swifts screaming around Western Road where we saw entries to 3 of the nests.

As part of the #Lewes Tree Festival, we led our third guided walk around the #trees in Southover Grange this afternoon. It was very interesting to see all the changes since our first guided walk there last Sunday, such as all the flowers having come out on the Indian Bean Tree!

The flowers on the Pomegranate #tree at the bottom of #Lewes High Street are really glowing today!
