Swifts are with us for just three months each Summer, bringing vital drama and excitement to our city streets and skies. These amazing birds have shared our buildings ever since the Romans came to Britain. They still breed in our eaves and gables, but not for much longer, as modern and renovated buildings exclude them. Unless we do something about it, Swifts will soon vanish from England and the UK. Find out here all about Swifts, why they matter, and how you can help them survive and thrive.

 NB When working with Swifts follow these rules
 
1.  Leave existing nest places undisturbed
 2.  If re-roofing, make new nest access holes to match the old ones
 3.  New build - It is always best to create internal nest spaces
 4.  If you cannot do "3 " above, fit external nest boxes
