Swifts: Our Summer Squadrons


The fascinating lives of swifts form the topic for the next meeting of the Wildlife Trust, Huntingdonshire Local Group, on Wednesday 8th February 2012 at 7.30pm at Brampton Memorial Hall, Thrapston Road, Brampton.

Tonight we are pleased to welcome Edward Mayer. Ed has recently taken early retirement, and has used his time to set up the local ‘London Swifts’ and international ‘Swift Conservation’ websites. He also provides advice on swift conservation to the government, building professionals and public.

Ed has had a lifelong love of swifts and noticed their severe decline in the 1990s. He realised that re-roofing of Edwardian properties was blocking swifts from returning to their homes. As Ed says ‘swifts are on the brink of disappearing and we need to build new nests and protect existing ones to ensure their survival’.

Anyone interested is very welcome to attend. Suggested donation £2.00 members; £2.50 non-members. Please meet at Brampton Memorial Hall, Thrapston Road, Brampton, PE28 4TB at 7.30pm. For further details contact: George Cottam on 01480 450809 or email georgecottam@dsl.pipex.com

We hold indoor meetings, which are held monthly on the second Wednesday of the month, in the evening at 19.30 from September to March. The venue is the Memorial Centre on Thrapston Road, Brampton. Suggested donation £2 for Wildlife Trust members; £2.50 non-members.
