In honour of #WorldSwiftDay (which I only just learned about) I came outside to try to capture some of the delightfully chatty chimney swifts who zoom around over our neighbourhood.
Yeah, right. Got some gulls… and a tiny swift speck.

It’s #WorldSwiftDay ! Here’s to the chimney swift, that quickly adapted to human structures after its old growth forest log homes were destroyed. Note the adapted tail feathers, tipped with spines for wall clinging. One of my favorite birds.

It's #worldswiftday and I'd like to share a story with you about our swift mural.

Equipped with a solar powered caller to attract swifts to the nesting bricks, we had one issue - how to turn the caller on (>10m high) once the swifts arrived?

As it’s #WorldSwiftDay here is a montage of Swift photos I’ve taken. One of the most challenging birds to capture in flight as they are super fast and turn on a sixpence. They are one of my favourite birds and I love to listen to them “ screaming” over the rooftops ❤️

#WorldSwiftDay couldn't have arrived sooner – UK Government are considering making swift bricks compulsory in any new builds.🏠

So to celebrate this beloved ariel acrobat, why not sign our letter, asking to protect swifts?

Dr. Jane Goodall's Message on World Swift Day 2024
Dr. Jane Goodall's Message on World Swift Day 2024 Happy World Swift Day! 🐦 Today we’re celebrating the birds that fly 200,000 miles a year, sleep on the wing (meaning they can enter a state of rest or sleep even while in the air), and can stay airborne for up to 10 months! These incredible creatures are facing habitat loss and declining insect populations. Help them by getting the word out because as Jane says, more we know, the more we care, and the more we care, the more we help! 🌿 For more information, please visit: https://www.worldswiftday.org/ #WSD2024

Het was afgelopen vrijdag Gierzwaluw dag.
Soms hoor je ze nog, maar maar heel af en toe. Die gekke halsband parkieten overschreeuwen ze. #WorldSwiftDay

It’s #WorldSwiftDay so let me share with you that I was today years old when I discovered that YOU SHOULD NOT THROW GROUNDED SWIFTS IN THE AIR
Sounds obvious now, sure, but I was taught this & have told so many other ppl 🤭
So pleased I never did it! Thank you @WindsweptSarah 🙏

Last summer, #Swifts finally turned up for a viewing of our @RSPBEngland #Lancaster office boxes. To say I was pleased was an understatement. I'm aching with hope that this summer they've moved in permanently and are nesting. 🤞#WorldSwiftDay
