Saving Swansea's Swifts
Common Swift (Apus apus) is now on the UK and Welsh Birds of Conservation Concern red list. This is due to a severe population decline of 58% between 1995 and 2018.
Gower Ornithological Society (GOS) and Swansea Council recognise that conservation action is needed to address the decline in swift numbers, and are looking for support from local people to help conserve swifts in Swansea and Gower. Project's objectives include:
Active recording
To raise awareness of swifts in our recording area and help us collect baseline information for planning future surveys.
Help us by adding swift records to free SwiftMapper app
Increasing breeding opportunities
To increase breeding opportunities for birds through grass roots installation of boxes and talking to public bodies, private companies and environmental groups.
Undertaking surveys
To add to the limited data currently available on where swifts breed in our recording areas.
Saving Swansea's Swifts is a Gower Ornithological Society (GOS) project supported by Swansea Council.
