SWIFTS, SWALLOWS AND MARTINS

Swift boxes mounted

We’ve built 120 swift boxes – now we’re waiting for the swifts (end of April/ early May). Sam Freegard shares the latest update on the brilliant efforts of our Swifts, Swallows and Sand Martins group…

Swift box and bat box workshop

Many hands make light work! In early February, about 40 of us gathered in the Camel Barn at Rosuick Farm to learn more about swifts and bats and share our knowledge – making 120 boxes along the way.

Nest Boxes

Wildlife Groundswell have installed six nestboxes behind the slate louvres in the south facing reveal of St. Wynwallow’s belfry.
