The
UK's Swifts are in trouble. It is estimated that their
population has deceased by 57% between 1995 and 2017, primarily due to the application of pesticides and habitat
destruction which has affected their insect food supply. The modernisation of
many buildings has also resulted in the loss of roof nesting sites. More
information can be found at Swift Conservation.
The RSPB have
launched their Swift mapper which can be found here. This enables anyone to easily record their Swift
sightings and contribute to the national database.
As I did last year, I will uploading my Swift sightings to Swift mapper.
