This could be devastating for our swifts - who will enforce the protection of their forever nests? Who will help us get illegally blocking scaffolding taken down!? @carowoodley @mayorofhackney @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan
Tell the Met why axing Wildlife police will be devastating for wildlife in our own communities as well as for endangered species worldwide. Sign the petition. action.naturewatch.org/tell-…

Swifts are back! At least near Hackney! Spotted @E17Wetlands. Possibly travelling birds passing through? Haven't seen any sign of my local crew yet.

.@WriterHannahBT needs your help to get MPs to pay attention to the plight of swifts. Swifts especially need people in: Suffolk - especially Suffolk Coastal (MP Therese Coffey has asurgery on 28 Friday) Stroud Sheffield West Oxfordshire -anywhere where there is a swift group.

Are you a #builder, #roofer, #homeowner, #landlord? Help swifts & watch this vid to learn how to protect their homes while you're fixing yours or your clients'. They spend 9 months flying, returning to the same nest site each yr - so please protect them! youtu.be/zm-KNaB9ZF4
