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. These boxes, made from reclaimed materials, provide a durable, safe nesting space. The Harringay Swift Group offers installation assistance and a demonstration swift call module to attract the birds. By participating in initiatives like Swiftmapper, you can also contribute to citizen science and support swift conservation efforts in your community.
