The telegraph article

[Hannah Bourne-Taylor]

Hi everyone,

In case you haven’t seen, here is a link to the full telegraph article: https://archive.ph/2026.04.16-150444/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/16/the-heartbreaking-race-to-save-britains-swifts-from-network/

Some of the quotes from me are not exactly what I said and I had to correct one when they reported I had said something about swifts not always using twigs and there is a lack of context which will likely mean some people then don’t understand that swift boxes and bricks are really really good (obviously i think this!) but unfortunately word counts and misunderstandings can lead to stuff like this but overall it’s good attention and one hopefully we can all use. 

Negotiations are underway but until things are ironed out there is no official updates but there is some secret hope. 

All best, Hannah
