Inside a Swift’s nest box. 👀

Did you know that Swifts pair for life and return to the same nest site in the UK every year?

They like to live in houses, squeezing through tiny gaps to nest inside roofs. But as more old buildings are renovated and gaps in soffits closed up, swift nest sites are fast disappearing.

Because of this, and many other reasons, Swift numbers are down by 62% and are on the red list of Birds of Conservation Concern in the UK.

This is your sign to get a Swift nest box!
