This week we are taking to the sky and learning all about the remarkable swifts. There is an abundance of interesting facts about swifts but, like many species, their populations are declining.

So, grab a coffee and join us as we delve into the fascinating lives of swifts, examine what is causing their decline, and of course look at how we can all help!

We really enjoyed this episode, and each came away with a real appreciation for these incredible birds, we hope you enjoy.
