Look whatโs been built in Cardiff for swifts. My niece sent me these photos and said the structure was alive with birds. Heartening to see. Itโs shaped like a swift in flight I think. Other towns have created similar swift nest sites including Exeter. Thank you for caring.
This coffee shop in Kyiv opened yesterday, then got hit by a russian air strike just hours later.
Today, they're still open and people in Kyiv are lining up to buy a coffee to support them, stepping over debris and broken glass on the way in.
FYI, the coffee is excellent ๐บ๐ฆ
