No glyphosate = more plants and more insects!
So so important for our Nottingham Swifts and hatchlings 💚

Keeping our streets glyphosate free is so important for our local Swift population. We are so proud our local pavements have had no glyphosate for 3 years! Let’s make our wild.NG pilot permanent! 🌱

Every Swift Counts...
Swift care is very specialist, so if you find a grounded Swift, here is some advice on what to do and how to get help.
We are local and can help if we are available, but sometimes we are not and there are specialist carers and advisors you can contact.
First tip -never leave a grounded Swift, please take it indoors.
Swift SOS- Coordinating Rescues (Swifts, Swallows and Martins) co-ordinate swift care nationally.
Thanks ❤️

Reunited! This morning our couple reconnect after over 8 months of continual flight - from Carrington last August over to sub-Saharan Africa and then back home.
You can see that being in a nest and adjusting to a surface takes a bit of getting used to!
