A poem about swifts by Pam Ayres is shown on a paper cut out with a garden background. The Swifts are back! They slice the air. They're back! They're back! From who knows where. Navigating mile on mile To the very roof, to the very tile
The swifts are back!
Thank you Pam Ayres for kind permission to share your poem.
You can record swifts in your local burial ground using iNaturalist, info on our website!
