The news of Scotland mandating swift bricks has gone viral on various big mainstream accounts. If only everyone who liked the post below emailed Housing Secretary Steve Reed telling him to go back to his original support and mandate. Just like Scotland AND Gibraltar !

Scotland became the first nation in the UK to pass a law requiring “swift bricks” in new buildings where reasonably practical and appropriate. These small built-in nesting spaces provide safe homes for birds such as swifts, sparrows, and starlings, whose populations have declined as older buildings with natural nesting gaps are replaced by sealed modern construction.

@WBDavisj115 Sometimes small innovations can have a massive impact.

First bird of my day: the nestling crow I rescued last night after finding him close to death. Surprised and delighted he survived the night and is currently sleeping on me as we listen to ‘my’ Dunnock I raised singing in the garden. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

First bird of my day: starling fledglings ambushing the apple tree in a whirl of wings and churring voices. I wanna be in their gang. I predict they are all about to take a bath in the paddling pool. #firstbirdofmyday #whatsyours

With highs of 33 degrees where I am today, the birds have been clearly grateful for the mini paddling pool that I set up for them. If you can, put shallow dishes of water out for wildlife right now. My goodness they will need it.

@WriterHannahBT Hannah, a HUGE housing development on the south east coast (Wealden) has swift bricks in each house. I went and cycled round it the other day thinking of you. Your campaign is bearing fruit.

I’ve never seen as many local swifts screaming overhead in May. I’ve been walking around & people keep telling me how happy they are to see and hear them. Joyful. Unfortunately failed miserably with filming it. Anyone seen and heard swifts tonight?
