Swifts usually arrive in the UK from early May, enlivening our skies with their swooping, diving and exuberant cries. See our Swift migration video below to experience their long journey taken to reach our skies.

Sadly, these aerial masters are on the UK Red list due to their declining numbers here. The reasons behind this loss are complex, but there are two steps we can take to help: providing suitable nesting sites and ensuring that there are plenty of insects for them to feed on.  

Bring the family this half term and create a home for birds at our woodland workshop! 

Work together to create your very own box to take home! 

Session will last approximately 2 hours.

Additional Information

Materials provided flat packed and ready to assemble in our classroom.
