Please can someone point me to where I can download an image file that I can use as a poster for SAW 2025. I am just planning an event in my village and would appreciate the artwork, please. (Details of the event will be sent on, Nick!) Thanks, Amanda Harbury Swifts, Warwickshire |

Hi Amanda, you can have one of my skyscrapers like the one on the survey leaflet if that’s helpful. Helen x On Sun, 11 May 2025 at 19:25, Amanda Randall <a.l.ran...@gmail.com> wrote: |

Morning all Having difficulty replying from within the group to specific requests. Just joined and not sure if I'm going through the "right motions". HB-T asked for information on the use of Swift bricks. On the North Milton Estate in New Milton, Hampshire, Hampshire Swifts have been surveying the breeding bird colony since 2020 (not a complete survey that year). I attach, for all to see, our report from 2024 and it shows the use being made of the artificial spaces installed by New Forest District Council following a local protest, when existing holes/nest sites were blocked for renovations in 2011/2012. The subsequent uptake has been amazing - 71 apparently occupied Swift nests in 2024 and, most important 100% occupancy of the Swift bricks.

100% occupancy is amazing. We need to learn from this. What was key to this do you think ? Also is there a central resource where this kind of information is kept.
If not I expect Hannah is collecting all examples so I might have the best resouce if it can be shared when completed.

Hi All
The idea behind the new Swift colony app is that this could be shared across all the SLN for recording large colonies and monitoring them year on year.
Please do give this app a try and let Camilla and Jon Barlow know your thoughts/comments.

Hi Talya
This is a private app, kindly created for the SLN by Dave Kilby out of his own love for swifts.
Sorry, I should have enclosed this later set of instructions created by Camilla, which has a web link. She has also set up the following email address for any questions: swiftch...@gmail.com.
Bedfordshire Swifts paid the first annual fee last year to use the Coreo platform (the same as is used by Swift Mapper), but obviously this app didn’t have the same level of developer time, so isn’t as polished as SM.
It was created initially for public buildings with large colonies e.g. churches (Dick’s list of churches are logged on there), hospitals, libraries. But there’s no reason why it couldn’t be used for a named community group of small colonies which is being monitored.
Take a look and see what you think.

Hi Laurinda,
Thanks!
Does this include groups of small colonies? Is there a link for the app? I've never heard of it before.

Hi Talya
Have attached the latest version (5) with the most recent amendments. It probably won’t be that much different, but we have been trying to improve the document as we go along.
Happy to help or answer any questions.

Hi Talya
If you’re not monitoring the 9 sites each year, then yeah, I’d say Swiftmapper is the right site for you i.e. to update records as and when you see Swifts go into a property in the street or streets nearby.
Laurinda
P.S. I was out cycling at lunchtime in Bedford and saw a swift entering a property along a road where there’s a known colony. Just lucky! I’ll log that one on Swiftmapper.

As you know, a small group of us on the SLN Planning group were trying to test it out before general release, but it’s out there now, Dick 😊
