Making holes in your #soffits is an easy way to help #swifts, and now there’s a ready-made box that gives families their own private apartment! Check out this soffit nest box from Action for Swifts: actionforswifts.blogspot.com/p/soffit-box-i… #nestbox #eaves #roofing

I know I'm a scratched record on this subject, but after the talk given by Nicole Khan and knowing just how dire the situation our Turtle Doves find themselves in, I will shout it from the rooftops if I have to. OBJECT! #planetoverprofit

What a difference a few degrees make! So relieved to see a massive increase in both numbers & activity. I was beginning to wonder had the Sand Martin abandoned the Wall & moved to a milder coastal colony. It can't be overstated how important weather/climate is to this species.

I never get bored of watching my oldest pair and their interactions. Last night's roosting, the calm before the storm that comes in the form of Swift chicks 😅

Swift Awareness Week begins this month, and to mark the event, my local Swift action group will be spending the day at my colony on the 30th June. If anyone wants to come along and talk all things Swifts, in the company of Swifts, just let me know.#DealSwifts #swiftawarenessweek

OVERHEATING SWIFTLETS FALL Keep a look out, for fallen chicks trying to reach cooler air. They're vulnerable to predation & adults can't tend to them. Rescue & contact nearest rehabber Local (Sheffield) & national contacts 👇

Fantastic news! Redrow Homes have signed up to the Future Homes Hub, meaning that all their building works from September will incorporate one swift brick for every new home built. Well done Redrow! UKSwifts Chris Packham Thread 1/2

It's the final count down. They hatched on June 6th, 38 days ago. In 7 days, they'll be gone Compare that nest period to a robin #apusapus #commonswift #actionforswifts #swiftconservation #saveourswifts

Travelling between Cork and Fermanagh to do some work at a swift colony, I spotted the extraordinary #swift mural by James Kirwan in Mountmellick. Wowza!!

Bird flu anyone ? Millions of dead predators ? Foxes ? Stoats ? Weasels ? You know - trashed ecosystems . Reptiles decimated ? Snaring , poisoning ? Illegal persecution of raptors ? Roll up , roll up , all hatched in battery farms , and you can waste their lives for ‘fun’ . . .

This is Jonathan Seed. He's been a huntmaster for over ten years and involved with fox hunting his entire life. He’d hate it if his pic resulted in people backing the campaign for a proper ban on fox hunting, you know what to do… protectthewild.org.uk/our-campaigns/…

🚨 INVESTIGATION 🚨Every year hundreds of dolphins and pilot whales are brutally killed in the Faroe Islands. With the UK importing £1 billion of Faroese fish, I ask if this killing is something we should be supporting? Use your voice and write to your MP today! Link in Bio 🌊🐋
