Plenty of swifts were spotted on the Swift Stroll around Brecon on Friday 10th July with our Engagement Officer Sarah Morgan and Pauline from the Brecon and District Swift Group.

The heat kept them quite high to start with but groups could be seen circling and screaming above the Watton, Alexandra Terrace and Bridge Street.

The cheer on the clip is because we spotted a swift entering a likely nest space, although the passing screaming party was also a good enough reason.

Join our Community Engagement Officer Sarah Morgan and members of Brecon and District Swift Group to discover the swifts that make Brecon their home for the summer.
