@MichelleWerrett @MarkCocker2 @tweedpipe We still have a new pair here. They usually leave in the 3rd week of July. I’m not sure if they’re on eggs or chicks or just practising for next year.

@PeteRamsey01 @MarkCocker2 @EastGateBooks Excellent!

[Alison Ingram @AlisonIngramArt]

@WriterHannahBT @swiftsweek Looking forward to their return, the swift box and camera are ready to go back up. Just need to order food and other essential rehab supplies 🦗🪰

[Alison Ingram @AlisonIngramArt]

@LittleToller Yes of course, if you have a look at my website and email me I can sort out an order for you 😊

@PolandTony @emmas8020 @gladbags4 The only people I know that have had covid have been double jabbed. You can see how effective the vaccine is by looking at Israel. What a lot don’t seem to consider is that these could be vaccine reactions rather than ‘break through’ cases.

@PeteRamsey01 I love how it is framed, it looks good 😁

[Wild About Warnham @WildWarnham]

The #WildAboutWarnham Swift Action project is going from strength to strength! Several new nest boxes have gone up in the village with swifts already viewing their potential future homes! This swiftlet ran into difficulty but is being hand reared by our Swift Action coordinator!

@WildWarnham They’ve been hanging around our garden too and the field 💜

[Alison Ingram @AlisonIngramArt]

@ChrisGPackham swifts should never been thrown or launched into the air, it can cause serious injury if the bird is not ready to fly and falls to the ground. Please follow Swift Conservation guidelines.

@charliemoores @HanlonMoores Glad you like your present ☺️

[Alison Ingram @AlisonIngramArt]

@sywhyman1960 No sorry, a friend of a friend made them for me. The bottom one is from one of my paintings printed on material and the top is an old tunic 😆 glad you like them though.

My new face masks 😄

@kilbey252 @WildWarnham @SaveourSwifts She came from a wildlife rescue, jumped or fell from the nest during hot weather. She’ll be ready to fledge later next week I think 😁

[Alison Ingram @AlisonIngramArt]

Sorrel, the tiny swift. She’s had a very difficult start, she was found with a broken leg and emaciated. She’s now a healthy 39g but a little way off fledging yet @WildWarnham @SaveourSwifts

[Alison Ingram @AlisonIngramArt]

@Lemontreemydear @WildWarnham Sounds about right, we often have 12-16 swifts overhead in the evening, they’ll be the same birds 😁

[Alison Ingram @AlisonIngramArt]

@Lemontreemydear @WildWarnham Did you count them? 😁

[Alison Ingram @AlisonIngramArt]

Swiftlets that jumped or fell from their nests in the searing heat last week. Gaining weight and looking relaxed @WildWarnham

[Alison Ingram @AlisonIngramArt]

Swifts returned to their box last night after a few days away to avoid the weather. Saw 16 flying around Goose Green this morning, a joy to have them back @WildWarnham

[Alison Ingram @AlisonIngramArt]

@HarrietMead1 You do indeed, the swifts are great, it would be lovely to see more of them.
