Swift City

Durham Wildlife Trust has been working with others to install more swift boxes and bricks across Durham and beyond, building homes for returning swifts to occupy.

Building a swift picture 

You can find out where swift boxes have already been installed on the map below as well as logging locations of existing swift nest sites.

You can also help the Trust continue its important work for swifts by suggesting locations for further installations and telling us where you have seen swifts nesting.
