The Swift Block Swift Box is designed to create nesting space for our declining Swift population. A simple yet stylish solution which can be easily integrated into new builds or retrofitted on existing properties.
Swift populations have decreased by over 50% in the last 20 years and a large factor in this is loss of habitat. If every new build contained provision for these beautiful birds then we might start to reverse the decline. Swifts join us for a few months each summer, spending their winters on the wing in Africa. Generally, they mate for life and often will return to the same nesting site.
The beautiful Swift Block Swift Box features an internal nesting bowl, a small entrance hole to deter larger birds and predators, full instructions cast into the surface for easy fitting, a stylish entrance feature and is UK standard block size.
The box should be positioned at least 5 meters from ground level, on a side of the building that gets shade during the day, or under an overhang or the eaves, away from windows and vents and predator access. Swift Blocks should also be placed in a spot with clear adjacent access, allowing high speed, direct flight entry.
