Swift Bricks nestled between your walls - not just for swifts, not just for brick buildings. Bespoke, beautiful, affordable and built to last by @AfSwifts. How GREAT do these look? Nest boxes in the building for life! Info here 👇 https://t.co/3k1M5JY7Ml 📸 Paul Wren

🐦 🧱 Great news from a customer, Chris, in Oxfordshire. Only a few months after retro-fitting more new S Bricks into his property. Chris first fitted S Bricks in 2021 with his first breeding pairs in 2023. Please get in touch to share your swift success stories with us! 🐦 🧱

🧱 🐦 Jim and Gary have been super busy in the workshop this week! These are a special order for Weston Homes, Orchard Park in Cambridge. Orchard Park is a state of the Art student accommodation project and these S Bricks will ensure that swifts have a home there too! 🐦 🧱

Swifts are back and breeding in full swing! Have your nest boxes been claimed yet? Look out for: ✔️ Birds entering/exiting early or late ✔️ Soft chirping inside ✔️ Screaming flybys at roof height Let us know if your swift box has new tenants! 📷🐦 #Swifts #NatureInTheCity
