More progress on the tower front. The faulty welds have been re-welded by Centregreat in Cardiff and await a fresh coat of paint. The contract for the ground works/earth matting has been awarded to Alun Griffiths and we hope that this will be installed in the near future.
Our aim is to get the tower up this spring, in readiness for the return of the Swifts. We hope to host events (in Swift Awareness Week) to raise awareness of the plight of our Swifts.
The Cardiff Swift Survey will run again this summer. An advert for volunteer surveyors has been placed on the RSPB website. We're seeking as many volunteers as possible. Last year we had 50! So check out the website and sign up. (P.S. If you signed up last year, I'm afraid you'll have to apply again because of GDPR). If we know where Swifts are nesting, we'll have more chance of protecting their nest sites.
