There was a lovely Swift piece appeared on BBC Morning Live on the 20th (around 38 mins in), including great coverage of an AfS brick being installed 😊

A lovely piece and all good but…..

65 swift bricks in a 937 housing development…. which is why the 1:1 ratio is so important.

It's not just the swifts but all the benefits that the swift boxes bring as they can be used by 4 red listed species swift, house martin, house and tree sparrow as well as all the other invertebrates etc…..…. 

All the best
