It’s #SwiftAwarenessWeek! And what better way to kick things off than by marvelling at what these little guys do best. Fly! 🤩 A bullet-shaped head, boomerang-shaped wings and a slick forked tail, these tiny but mighty birds are built for speed and can reach up to 69mph. That makes Swifts the world’s fastest bird in level flight! 🚀 But what was once a common spectacle in our skies, is now becoming increasingly rare. Sadly on the UK Red list, these aerial masters need our help! From providing suitable nesting sites to ensuring that there are plenty of insects for them to feed on, we’re doing all we can to protect these incredible birds and ensure their screams are heard for generations to come 💚 Tap the link in our bio to learn more about our work to help Swifts 🔗 #swifts #rspb #savenature
