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 😊

Another beautiful release. Two more Swifts back in the skies today, makes me so proud and happy 😊

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 😊

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 😊

With so many Swifts being released recently I thought it was going to be quiet, but no this little one arrived yesterday, cold and dehydrated. It's done well overnight though and it's really bright this morning 😊

Yesterday we took seven Swifts to the release site, and six of them took off into the skies for their first ever flight. It was magical watching them all go. The one that wasn't quite ready came back with us and we will try again in a few days. I thought I'd share this beautiful video of one of them soaring up high, stretching those beautiful wings. Good luck little Swifts 💕
