Welcome to Derbyshire Swift Conservation
These beautiful and charismatic birds have declined across Derbyshire and the UK by more than 65% over the past 25 years and Swifts are now a red-listed bird of conservation concern.
This decline is driven by the ongoing loss of suitable nest sites on existing buildings and this can be addressed by taking the following steps:
- Help to protect Swift nest sites by identifying the location of existing nest sites and submitting them to the Derbyshire Swift survey
- Install Swift boxes on your property
- Set up a Swift group in your community
- Give some time to support our work by volunteering to help our Swifts
