This is why we never release swifts from height! Most swifts are dehydrated and weak. Never release them from height as they can fall and injure themselves more!

[Devon Swifts @DevonSwifts]

It's peak swift season, and our dedicated swift carers in Devon are working tirelessly. Our two specialists are located in Tiverton and Plymouth!

Both currently caring for around 10 swifts in total between them!

@TheTiercel They are keen! Love it #DevonSwifts

@Michael02688642 @BirdGuides @DevonBirds Seems to me like one of the swifts thought there was a empty nest site and got told of by one of the pair inside!

[Devon Swifts @DevonSwifts]

@mtpennycook Thanks for your reply, Have any of these actions been put forward now? There was all praise at the debate but we need clear actions..

There is also no reason why it shouldn’t be mandatory for swift bricks to be installed.

[Devon Swifts @DevonSwifts]

I’m frustrated after the Minister @DehennaDavison and Shadow Minister @mtpennycook didn’t support making swift bricks mandatory in new housing?

No action, just praising swifts and listing what they have done already for the environment but they have done NOTHING FOR THE SWIFTS…

[Devon Swifts @DevonSwifts]

A big thanks to @WriterHannahBT and all the brilliant MPs that standed united for our swifts! It’s Not the outcome we would of liked but, Let’s keep up the pressure and get #SwiftBricks installed in new builds #SaveOurswifts @RichardFoordLD #DevonSwifts @swifts_uk 🐦
