Swifts of Oxford: benefits of engaging with nature for city dwellers
All are welcome to attend this student-organised talk by Oxford Swift City on swift conservation. The iconic aerial migrant bird, which lands only to breed and can fly at least 560 miles a day gathering food during the breeding season, nests almost exclusively in urban areas. In recent years, swift populations have declined, possibly due to the loss of nesting sites, as old buildings are renovated and new builds do not include spaces for them to nest. Come along and find out more about efforts to conserve this fascinating bird as well as how you can get involved.
