These fantastic migratory birds are among the species under threat because of loss of habitat and nest sites, but also because of climate change: after flying all the way to south London from sub-Saharan Africa for their breeding season, our ever-warmer winters and springs are leaving the birds out-of-sync with the appearance of insects which form a major part of their diets, and provide food for their chicks.
The London Wildlife Trust’s free guide includes:
- Identification advice to help you tell them apart
- Fascinating facts about these amazing high fliers
- Insights into their migration habits
- How you can help them in your garden or green spaces
- Tips on how to build a swift box
