Another eight Swift boxes installed this morning as part of the Dyfi Biosphere Swift Project! We've now surpassed 160 boxes since the beginning of last year - a massive thanks to Elfyn Pugh for driving this project forward. Can't wait for these winged wonders to return now!!!

[Brecknock Local News @WTSWWBrecknock]

Pauline has been working with Lowri @DwrCymru through #greenconnectionspowys to provide homes for swifts on the Sennybridge Tower. It is fantastic that Dwr Cymru are supporting swifts by buying and installing 3 boxes.

Great work to help #swifts in Brecon 👌

[Brecknock Local News @WTSWWBrecknock]

Great news for swifts!
Brecon Men's Shed handed over 9 swift boxes made from wood supplied by #GreenconnectionsPowys to Brecon Leisure Centre. It is hoped that a new colony will get established here.
It is great to connect groups to benefit wildlife. #TeamWilder @WTSWW

A fascinating day with @RSPBScience who fitted sat.tags to one bird in each of 5 pairs &ringed their 12 well-developed Swiftlets. In the sample group, 9 pairs have a minimum of 18 Swiftlets. 3 birds ringed as adults in 2018 & 2020 were controlled @Z4birding @NTBirdClub @AfSwifts

@PeterMa88010875 @WTSWWBrecknock @BreconLibrary @swiftsweek @BreconVolunteer @BreconBeaconsNP @BreconBuzz Thanks for putting up the box. Unfortunately numbers seem low this year. Hopefully in time they will find your box. You could try playing a call to try and attract birds to the box.

@Kate_Bradbury The second wave of younger swifts have arrived, third wave due July. The lack of swifts each year is worrying. we need to PRESERVE natural nest sites and ADD more nest boxes!

[Mark Smyth @MarkSmyth1960]

The first swift chicks have hatched

@lottieglover23 @WriterHannahBT @Breconswifts @AndSwifts @AfSwifts @swifts_uk @SaveourSwifts @swiftsweek Watch for Swifts flying at or past a roof at gutter height whilst calling. Also watch for Swifts circling a building at low level, very good signs of nesting.

Loving this 😍. It would be amazing if artists and other creative people in Brecon could get involved with the Brecon Swift Group to help raise awareness of Swifts in and around town @BreconBuzz

[Brecon swifts @Breconswifts]

Wonderful to see #swift enthusiasm in other Mid-Wales towns. The more the merrier!!! #SwiftsInWales

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

Love this in a shop window in stunning Presteigne in Radnorshire Wales. People love their #swifts here clearly! We need more villages and towns across UK to become #Swift Champions. @WildlifeTrusts @IoloWilliams2 @rwtwales @Natures_Voice @_BTO @JulieJamesMS @CraigBennett3
