Ensure swifts like 'Lucky' have a safe 'forever' nest when they return to have their own swiftlets in years to come. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ'๐˜€ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ, ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐Ÿ‘‡ greens.scot/saveourswifts @WriterHannahBT

Email Gillian.Martin.msp@parliament.scot and ask the SNP to back @markruskellโ€™s swift brick amendment so #Scotland can still save its swifts.
Volunteers such as โฆโฆ@ChetCunagoโฉ from โฆ@SheffSwiftNetโฉ save swifts every year. Email SNPโ€™s Gillian.Martin.msp@parliament.scot to tell the SNP to embrace โฆ@markruskellโฉ swift brick amendment instead of saying no. They vote next week. #Scotland can save swifts

Planning roof repairs or putting up scaffolding? A Sheffield resident turned a roof replacement into a chance to help swifts! By providing artificial nests heโ€™s helping onceโ€‘thriving colonies recover. Could your project do the same? Drop us a message or comment for free advice.

Iโ€™ve woken up even more furious as I process what #Labour has done. A 3 line whip to ensure swift bricks are blocked after promising to do it? What a betrayal. People power will work. Email me at thefeatherspeech@gmail.com & youโ€™ll get a template to amend & use

#SwiftBricks - modest amendment supporting #biodiversity in the Planning and Infrastructure - for beautiful birds for whom a place to nest is a matter of life and death - defeated by stacked government benches

The Lib Demโ€™s are going to vote FOR swift bricks on Monday! โ™ฅ๏ธThe govt is not. ๐Ÿ˜ญโ€ฆ.IF the Tory parliamentary peers, x benchers & ace rebel Labour Peers do, then swift brick amendment 245 will pass in the Lords. Grand Designs Kevin McCloud agrees: swift bricks should be mandated!

We challenge Lord Krebsโ€™ claim that Amendment 245 wonโ€™t work. Swifts DO nest in 4โ€“5m buildings & need swift bricks to survive as old sites vanish This practical step helps save swifts from extinction. Listen to swift conservation experts! #SaveOurSwifts #SwiftBricks #PlanningBill

We are incredibly upset to learn of Steve Reedโ€™s change of approach and will continue to campaign for the mandating of swift bricks in new developments, the best intervention to halt the catastrophic decline of our swifts. theguardian.com/environment/โ€ฆ
