NATURE Swifts - BBC - Autumnwatch 2015

This is an excerpt taken from 'Autumnwatch', which was first shown on BBC2 at 8pm 3 Nov 2015

This section of the programme featured some footage taken by viewer Mark Glanville, who had fitted cameras to film the swifts in the nest boxes he had erected

This excerpt also mentions that the BTO reckon swift numbers have fallen 42 per cent in the last 20 years - largely felt to be due to loss of nesting sites and the way new buildings are constructed. I have listed a few sites which show how to create nest boxes should you wish to help, and of course they can also be bought ready made too
