You need to attract the swifts to the nest boxes, so it needs to have an amp and speaker set up. There was no easy power point so I made the solar set up behind a south facing window🤞

@westmidbirdclub.bsky.social Stafford Swift Project team fitted 8 swift boxes with a solar charger in St. Austin’s Church, Wolverhampton Road, Stafford. It is a hotspot for nesting swifts, so hoping for some success. Thanks to WMBC for sponsorship of the swift project.
