Swifts are captivating summer visitors, known for their acrobatic flying and high-speed maneuvers. These social birds, returning from South Africa each May, are facing a decline in nesting sites due to building renovations. To support swifts, consider installing Swift Nestboxes on your home.

By participating in initiatives like Swiftmapper, you can also contribute to citizen science and support swift conservation efforts in your community.
