Starting to explore outside the nest today, thankfully after my release of some yesterday I now have a bigger avairy free for them when they are ready to start stretching those beautiful wings 😊

Our first House martin release of the year. These youngsters from different nests grew up together and are now flying high in the sky where they belong. Thank you so much to for allowing us to release our birds into the established colony they have in the estate. Just fabulous 😊

Another day and more House martins admitted. Huge thank yous today go out to Sue who collected some nest drop babies from the lovely Farah in St Asaphs who had been caring for them overnight. Again Andy came to our rescue to pick up a chick that had come all the way from Aberystwyth, via an Uber driver to Welshpool, before bringing it safely to us. The team at Swift SOS and House martin Conservation have really gone above and beyond organising all the transport this week for so many nest drop victims. With all the birds being admitted this week we are nearing capacity for Swallows and House martins.

If you would like to donate to the care of all these special birds then please visit our just giving page and give whatever you can. Every penny donated goes towards looking after the birds in our care. Thank you so much again to all our supporters and volunteer drivers, we absolutely could not save so many birds without your help! 😊

What a difference a day makes. After warmth, fluids and, once stabilised, a clean up of all those messy feathers and this is the result. 😊
