@ForestOpaline@BrianRoemmele Thanks. Penyard Hill on the left and Chase Hill on the right, near Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire. Steeper than it looks. Used to be a fort up there but not much to see ruins-wise now. You can see the hills from the air here:

I'm fuming to read this! 🤬
Year in and year out this kind of crap happens in the summer, when most birds are already breeding, not just with Swifts, but with all birds! 😒
Birds and their nests are protected by law, but the law is clearly inadequate and is riddled with loopholes that councils, builders, farmers... anyone really, can exploit. 😡
Yet still some wonder why the UK is the most nature depleted place on earth...

@CarlBovisNature Carl, I made a film over 3 years about swifts. I love them and encourage people to get the special swift nesting boxes up. This year I have managed to get some magical shots on film.
Hearing this news just makes me sick. Some humans are empty inside. Ed

I filmed the storm over Wales and the wye valley last week (27-28 May 2026) from the top of a church tower (remotely, I'm not mad). Have a gander 👍🏻 will likely crop it to a shorter action version too.

@elonmusk, you can have that x raptor picture if you want it. Seems like it was meant for you. A gift for your efforts to help us live better than startrek 👍🏻 I'll send you the 4k shot if you want. Ed
@elonmusk Tis a sign! Big X on a raptor! It's a feeding female peregrine falcon I've filmed for a year in all weathers alone. Documentary out in November 2026 😀 Check out my YouTube channel (202k subs) for updates. Fancy buying the original footage, Elon? I have eye surgery to pay for. I did a lot of this 70% blind. No surrender, just like you. Cheers Elon, Ed

Took me a year so far, 6-8hrs most days. Usually get little to no footage. These are tame highlights from my coming Peregrine falcon documentary. Out in November. Enjoy!

@BrianRoemmele Have a look from 33mins. I got a tour of St Mary's in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire and was in the bell chamber when they rang. LOUD NOISES haha

Just heard SWIFTS in Herefordshire! 😀😀😀
I made this over 3 years. Hopefully get even better footage this year once I can actually see again... Please get purpose-built swifts nesting boxes up for them!
