Walkley & Crookes Swifts

Facebook group – “This group is for anyone that loves our summer visitors, the Swifts. These incredible birds spend 9 months on the wing and many make Walkley and Crookes their home for four months of the year to nest and raise their young. They’re having a hard time as more and more of their nesting sites are lost. This group is for anyone who wants to share appreciation, sightings and information about our Swifts. Report a Swift in trouble, encourage people to put up nest boxes and welcome Swifts into their roof spaces. “
