The Cardiff Swift Survey

After a lot of number crunching the results of the Cardiff Swift Survey (2018 and 2019) are in. The tables below show the number of nest sites found by area in both years. They may of course refer to the same pair returning to their traditional site. We shall be repeating the  HLF funded survey again this summer (our final year). If you can contribute, it would be great. Sign up with the RSPB as a surveyor and you'll get a pack of information and training on how to go about your survey.

If you can't commit to a full survey yet know of a nest site, please log it on the RSPB Swift portal. We can only protect these sites if we know where the birds nest.
