Swifts-in-South-Brent initiative: There are exciting plans afoot (a-wing!?) to help our local Swift population. SSB’s Young Ambassadors, working alongside: Brent Birders; Devon Birds’ nest-boxes in churches initiatives; Dawlish Swifts and others, are working on an initiative to improve the situation, seeking available local knowledge, identifying sites, adding them to the RSPB’s Swift Mapper, building nest boxes (Dartside Explorer Scouts); distributing boxes to approved sites, installing boxes and spreading the word.
If you would like a free Swift nest box for your house or outbuilding, see: https://ssb.org.uk/helping-our-swifts-to-soar-2/.
