So yesterday saw the release of the last Swift we had in care. It's bitter sweet at this point in the season, I'm absolutely ready for a rest, but I will also miss them. I wish all of them a safe journey to Africa and hopefully they will make it back to one day find a nest site and have babies of their own. We can still help Swifts at this time of year by putting up boxes and encouraging others to welcome them into their homes. We will all be waiting to look up at the skies next year and see them zooming around together ❤️

If there's one thing in this world that I do really well it's rear beautiful, strong Swifts. This one was released yesterday and is hopefully flying south now on its first migration. Good luck little one 😊

My last two Swifts, starting to look like adults now with their beautiful wings growing nicely. Not to much longer before they will be ready 😊

Only four Swifts left now, and they are all looking beautiful. 😊

I always think it's so lovely when I go to feed the swifts and they are all snuggled up together. It's a good reminder that baby birds shouldn't be hand reared on their own. If you find a baby bird you should never try to look after it yourself, always take it to a reputable rehabilitation facility where it can grow up with others of it's own kind and be fed an appropriate diet to ensure it grows up healthy and strong and is able to socialise with its own species. This gives it the best chance of survival on its release 😊

You think things are slowing down and getting quieter and then more babies come along in need of help. This little one arrived today 😊 At least it has a friend to cuddle up to 😊

Although our skies are getting quieter and our Swifts are starting to leave on their long migration to Africa, there are still some late breeders here. In this hot weather please keep your eyes peeled for youngsters falling from the nests. I had another two come in yesterday. Luckily the parents had been doing an amazing job and both Swifts were in great condition so should do really well 😊
