Little Sutton Swifts

22/06/2026

Lots of early and late activity from our local swifts at the moment.
With the heat building up there is a chance that the young will try and leave the nest.
If you find a grounded swift you can contact us, or Swift SOS on Facebook.
Swift SOS are guaranteed to respond quickly.

About 20 swifts spotted feeding between the showers tonight. Mill Lane/Whetstone area

Not many swifts around at the moment. We think that the very few with eggs in the nest will stay local and feed on the low numbers of insects available whilst the others will go somewhere warmer, where there is more food available.
With temperatures warming next week hopefully there will be much more food available plus there are still large numbers on the migration route.
Fingers crossed for more rooftop action in a week’s time🤞
