For many years I have wanted to visit the village of Portmeirion in North Wales. I watched the television series "The Prisoner" which was filmed there and the setting and architecture fascinated me. I finally went last week and The Village lived up to my expectations. Beautiful.

Hi @wessexwater have you seen these photos and issue regarding swallows being blocked from their nesting site? @Stephen47629998 can you tell @wessexwater the address so there is no doubt. And @wessexwater could you remove the mesh so the swallows can get back home?

Disgusted to see that @wessexwater have blocked access for swallows to get to their nesting site at Tonedale water treatment works. The pair have bred there for at least the last 3 years.

Home after a lovely week on the Welsh coast. We were based in Barmouth and here are some photos of the area.

Home from a lovely holiday in Wales yesterday and was greeted by my first swifts.

Right, let's get this straight. @networkrail has still not put up SWIFT BOXES after deliberately filling in the holes where swifts nest! This crime against nature took place near Chapel-en-le Frith (Derbyshire). The excuse given is that there were no evidence of swifts, hardly surprising considering they were not back from Africa but now they are! Network Rail stated it would install swift boxes but as of now, none have been put up. The question is when? NETWORK RAIL Swifts return to the same sites year after year so it is vital these holes are reopened or official swift boxes are installed. The numbers of swifts are plummeting and they are on the UK's Red List of Birds of Conservation Concern. We cant afford to let this go. Please make your concerns known to Network Rail.

Let's be clear @networkrail, #swifts cause no damage. They don't make their nest holes, they just find a crevice. They're a critically endangered urban nesting bird. Why have you blocked them out? #Arch3 #saveourswifts #unblockthenests @WriterHannahBT

#NetworkRail will you be cruel or be kind? It is so easy to be kind in this situation - you can unblock the homes that 6 swifts are currently flying thousands of miles back to. Please do email CEO Jeremy Westlake: jeremy.westlake@networkrail.co.uk #SaveOurSwifts

Please help get this message to CEO of @networkrail Jeremy Westlake. Email him asking him to unblock the swift nesting sites in the chapel Milton viaduct, Derbyshire. His email is jeremy.westlake@networkrail.co.uk @deborahpitman has been asking for ages but she’s been ignored

Swifts spark joy….. thrilled that swifts have more airtime in #TheGuardian this week as they start their return journeys HOME. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@WriterHannahBT I was surprised to hear my first one two weeks ago, which was ten days earlier than ever before. I have only heard one other since then but today I shall be going for a run along an old railway line that is always a hotbed for them. I hope to hear some more there.

THE CHIFFCHAFFS HAVE ARRIVED!!!! Have you heard any yet?

My annual chiffchaff post. Yesterday I was by a willow plantation about 2km north of Farnsfield when I heard the first chiffchaff of the year. I was surprised as this is ten days earlier than ever before. Climate change and favourable wind direction probably causing this.
