So sad to hear about the death of Joe Harkness. Joe was passionate about getting people talking about mental health, as well as the benefits of being out in nature, and was rightly proud of his work with young people, all of which will leave a positive legacy.

Add nest space and wait, it can take some time but conservation works. Swifts nest in the gable box above and now after a 4 year wait House Martins have found the nest cup beneath.

Time and time again we survey locations where ‘we used to have Swifts, they just disappeared!’. It is common to find this, old roofs that have been re-tiled to modern building standards with anti-bird combing installed under the rolls of the tiles. Swifts are simply blocked out. #SuffolkBirds
