Good to hear that Swifts have been seen banging the nest boxes at Waldringfield Primary School where calls are being played. This Swift Community Set was funded by the local AONB, now Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape Swift conservation works! Suffolk Bird Group SuffolkWildlifeTrust

Siobhan Walsh Hi Siobhan, no problem, you can view here > bit.ly/4baSKtE

3 swift boxes up in Bradfield, Essex, courtesy of SaveOurSuffolkSwifts ! There were a few circling about as we played the calls this evening - fingers crossed! Thanks for the advice Mark Nowers

SOSSwifts have donated a Peak Boxes call system to the Swift lovers in Boxford, Suffolk who are building Swift nest cabinets behind the louvres on the belfry of St Mary’s Church. Great that the church has agreed to this! Suffolk Bird Group SuffolkWildlifeTrust Dedham Vale National Landscape

Our Swifts are back! Returned to their nestbox 11May, a few days later than the previous four years. Looking forward to a few months of super Swift activity. Welcome home Taylor and Jonathan.

SOSSwift provide free Swift advice and surveys, one was done today in Snape where two nest boxes will now be going up on a property close to an existing colony. Calls will still be played from an adjacent windowsill via a Bluetooth speaker Suffolk Bird Group SuffolkWildlifeTrust

And, finally: four swifts flying over my house. First time I’ve seen them in Felixstowe this year! SaveOurSuffolkSwifts

Sadly blocked swift nest reports are already reaching us. If negotiations fail, report it.
It is ILLEGAL to block access to an active nest.

A Swift Community Set comprising of four Swift nest boxes and a 240V Peak Boxes call system has been installed at Dennington Primary School where their pupils will be able to see the colony develop. Over 25 schools and colleges now have sets here Suffolk Bird Group SuffolkWildlifeTrust

Are #swift callers and nest boxes worth it, damn right they are less than 3 days after installation we had not 1 but 2 swifts trying to enter the new box,

And then there were two!

Despite all the recent rainfall Suffolk is drying out very quickly. I asked a quick favour, and this muddy puddle was created near Bury St Edmunds for Swallows and House Martins. They need mud for nests ⁦Suffolk Bird Group⁩ ⁦House Martin Conservation UK & Ireland⁩ ⁦Jenny Rawson⁩ #MUD

More swift boxes up this week, in Ipswich ! 😁
