Note to @BirdGuides - this should be Widford, Oxfordshire, not Hertfordshire x.com/hertsbirds/sta…
A stunning shot - you can see every feather!

Swift bricks: are there any residents of Radlett, Elstree, Borehamwood or Potters Bar that would like to help me persuade @HertsmereBC to include Swift bricks in the new Local Plan? If so please get in touch #hertsbirds
#hertsbirds We've had a little run of new birds which has largely filled up the Herts spring migrant tracker! First swifts and whinchats likely to appear over the next week or so.
Sawbridgeworth Swifts has now put up 26 Swift boxes in the Sawbridgeworth and Bishop's Stortford area in time for the return of the birds in a few weeks. A further installation day is planned soon for anyone in the area that is interested #hertsbirds
Herts Rooks part 4: over 2600 nests submitted for the 2024 rookery survey, but tough conditions for the birds in these persistent high winds. We have evidence of nest losses on a couple of stormy nights in the last two weeks #hertsbirds
First known occupation of Swift bricks in Herts - great to find 2 pairs of Blue Tits nesting in new build houses on the @TaylorWimpey development at Stevenage, showing the universal nature of these bricks. Just imagine if they were mandated for every house #hertsbirds #swifts
Herts Rooks part 2: over 1700 nests from 100 rookeries recorded so far in 2024. You can submit to the Bird Club website and now also see them and add your records on a Google Sheet I have created: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… #hertsbirds
My favourite AI generated bird so far, which the FB page still tags as photography. Suggestions for a species name?
Great advice from Swifts Local Network. Please provide a copy to your local veterinary practice.
Herts Rooks 2024 part one: a request for nest counts. Please submit to the Herts Bird Club website, more details here: hnhs.org/herts-bird-clu… - extra help wanted this year as I am currently recovering from a broken ankle #hertsbirds
"Eco-friendly" plastic grass. I wonder if the Advertising Standards Agency would agree? @capabilitycharl @Shitlawns
Overjoyed to attend @HertfordTC meeting where @krahertford's Baz Johns was recognised for his incredible work making swift (& other bird) boxes over the past two years with a joint award for #ecoheroism with Hertford Swift Group's Clive Fleming. Well deserved & well done!
By far the best way to help protect Swifts is to accurately record nest sites. Still time to add 2023 records for Hertfordshire #hertsbirds

#Swifts have nested here for yrs but roofs needed work. Thanks 2 local resident raising alarm & fab cooperation from Aaron at @WrpsLtd & @TogetherHousing Soffit boxes have been installed! A 1st in the North West? Highest level mitigation 4 re-roofing. 1/2 per home & easy to do!

Almost that time of year again for many tweets about Hertfordshire rookeries, but my main piece of advice after 10 years of surveying is to count nests later if you can. Subject to leafburst, best results are from the last week in March and throughout April #hertsbirds

As we're in March, we're kicking off the spring migrant tracker! This shows when we'd expect to first see 21 of the common spring migrants in Herts. The blue dots are from last year where the dates were quite predictable! Will update regularly as new birds appear. #hertsbirds
Using the method of measuring in the article, people per Swift nest, here are the results of surveying in selected towns and villages in East Herts in 2023. Surveys are not complete but back up the idea that populations are much higher than official estimates #hertsbirds

There are plans to build an Aqua Park obstacle course at the Main Lake. This includes installation of eight(!) shipping containers for which a planning application has been submitted. You can comment in it here.... publicaccess.stevenage.gov.uk/online-applica… #hertsbirds

Putting swift boxes up is one good thing, shaping planning policy so that swift bricks are incorporated in to new builds is another. Find out how on this webinar tonight...
Please don't miss our next Zoom Webinar on Thursday, May 2nd, 6:30pm-7:00pm, ……nt-planning-network-for-nature.org.uk/events/webinar……We invite you to our second webinar in the series, on how Brighton has secured Swiftbrick planning conditions in new developments. #Swifts #RSPB #nature_policy
And we are a-go for #swift season 2024!! Our male just arrived home from migration. He's at least 11 yrs old + this is his 9th season with us. He's caused a lot of drama in that time - cheating, divorce, rekindled bonds, infanticide. Let's see what this summer brings!
Concaves for swift nest boxes will soon be available from me/Northern Ireland Swift Group. The cost is £2.50 plus postage It has been proven that swifts like a concave #apusapus #commonswift #actionforswifts #swiftconservation
The playing of Swifts’ calls is very, very important in helping the younger non-breeding Swifts find a future place to nest. There will also be returning adult Swifts blocked out of their previous nest sites by building work. If you need help, get in contact now @SuffolkBirdGrp
A sky full of Skylarks. After such a grim month, nice to survey for once under a soft orange dawn. And not need my winter coat! #birding #Spring2024 #dawnchorus
And they’re back! First Swift over the garden this evening. Earliest since 2020 when one appeared on April 25, but then we were watching the skies much more regularly during lockdown.
Probably wondering just why they've flown all the way from Africa to a wet Sunday morning in Stevenage. @swallowspotting @Natures_Voice @fairlandsbirds #hertsbirds
Clare is a beautiful town on the Essex/Suffolk border. Now it is even more picturesque with the addition of 40 Swift nest boxes put up around the town this weekend, thanks to the local Swift group. @SuffolkBirdGrp @suffolkwildlife Swift conservation works!
