Please trust the swift conservation experts. We urgently ask Parliament to back Amendment 245 today. Mandate swift bricks in new buildings. An easy win for species' survival . #SaveOurSwifts #MandateSwiftBricks

letter signed by 84 branches of the Swifts Local Network who have worked for 30 years in swift conservation who strongly back today’s amendment (245) that would require installation of swift boxes in new build homes.

The Lib Dem’s are going to vote FOR swift bricks on Monday! ♥️The govt is not. 😭….IF the Tory parliamentary peers, x benchers & ace rebel Labour Peers do, then swift brick amendment 245 will pass in the Lords. Grand Designs Kevin McCloud agrees: swift bricks should be mandated!


We challenge Lord Krebs’ claim that Amendment 245 won’t work. Swifts DO nest in 4–5m buildings & need swift bricks to survive as old sites vanish This practical step helps save swifts from extinction. Listen to swift conservation experts! #SaveOurSwifts #SwiftBricks #PlanningBill


The swift brick amendment of the draft Planning and Infrastructure bill is being voted on in the Lords next week 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 [email protected] & [email protected] with 𝗦𝗪𝗜𝗙𝗧 𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗪𝗜𝗙𝗧 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗦 in the subject line.


61 Swift nest bricks now nestle in the homes around Sheffield’s Shire Brook Valley! Thanks to amazing residents, swifts - and a host of other species now - have safe places to raise their young year after year. @ProtectTheWild_ @RecoveryNature @WildSheffield @WriterHannahBT


We are incredibly upset to learn of Steve Reed’s change of approach and will continue to campaign for the mandating of swift bricks in new developments, the best intervention to halt the catastrophic decline of our swifts. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Swifts are the long-distance athletes of the natural world – flying 5,500km only to find nowhere to nest here in Britain. A tiny action could make all the difference. For swifts, it’s life or extinction. #NatureEmergency #SaveOurSwifts @WriterHannahBT

We're looking to gather Ring Ouzel sightings this August & September to aid the conservation work of @EasternMoors Sightings tend to drop off after the breeding season, can you help to reverse that trend? Please see our news item for more details: sbsg.org/sbsg-news/requ…
