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.
Happy #worldswiftday get a box up quick.

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.

#WorldSwiftDay Scientists have developed four-winged bird-like robots 1, called ornithopters, that can take off and fly with the agility of swifts, hummingbirds and insects.
It’s #WorldSwiftDay today. 🦉
These are Germain's swiftlet in Ho Chi Minh City.
It’s #WorldSwiftDay today. Celebrate by gorging yourself on insects and staying in the air for months on end.

Enter our heroes from NI Fire and Rescue Service Belfast Central Station who popped in to lend a hand!
A huge thank you to our local heroes who are also playing an important role in Swift Conservation #worldswiftday.
You can hear (& see!) our living, singing mural on Bruce Street, Belfast.

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?
Are the swifts near you going to be having 'screaming parties' to celebrate #WorldSwiftDay? Listen out this evening northpennines.org.uk/in-celebrati... #nature #wildlife

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 ❤️
Listen out for the screeches and look up into the sky on World Swift Day

#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?

It’s #WorldSwiftDay 😀 BTO research into the highly aerial Swift, which spends the non‐breeding period on the wing, found they exhibit a rarely‐found chain migration pattern. Read the study ➡️bit.ly/SwiftsChainMi... #Ornithology
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
New nest sites for #Swifts built in to @LGRSLancaster. Brilliant work by site manager Paul, Head @christopherpyle and @LancasterSwifts supported by @RSPB_N_England Work finished a few weeks ago, attraction calls played, occupied already!!! #WorldSwiftDay @SaveourSwifts @AfSwifts
