Our British swifts are currently flying above rainforests in the Congo basin. To help them by ensuring they have a home to return to, email me at thefeatherspeech@gmail.com to get a template to amend and send to your MP asking for their swift voice!

Great information! Swifts, their lifestyle, threats they face, and how you can help. 🙏 @SheffSwiftNet

Several House Martins flying past in the past few days and lots of them feeding over the fields between #Lewes and Ringmer yesterday - but on Saturday Nick saw three Swallows and A #SWIFT flying over the Castle Bowling Green! Safe journey to all of them and see you next year.

The govt day the bill is a ‘planning policy supports the use of wildlife-friendly features including swift bricks’. Hey government THE POLICY DOESNT WORK. Enforcement is needed hence the need to mandate swift bricks. https://t.co/RhZLq4Wgxb

OH MY GOD! 1 year ago Steve Reed said I was ‘pushing an open door’ re mandating swift bricks. He thanked me (first for a govt minister). He was in Defra but the Housing Dept blocked it. NOW he’s Housing Secretary of State ⁦@SteveReedMP⁩ please be our SWIFT STEVE?

How great to these swift bricks look?

Fantastic work by @LewesSwifts

We will be at the Societies Fair again on Saturday, 30th August, 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. Come along to #Lewes Town Hall and find out about the #Swifts of Lewes and how you may help them, and how we may help with installing Swift nest boxes and artificial House Martin cups.

A farewell #flyday from these guys. This is one of the 5 pairs that nested under our gutters this year. @UKNikon @Natures_Voice @swifts_uk

For the first day since 26th April, we have seen no #Swifts in #Lewes! We think the first chick left our nest box yesterday and the second one left early this morning. We have enjoyed having them at our house so much and we hope they come back safely next year!

Young Swift with Adult in nest this evening in Salisbury. Looking ready to leave soon.

Most of our #Lewes #Swifts could be in Africa by now! Well, apart from the ones still in our nest box.....
