  • Image of a swift - Tenterden Wildlife are donating to swift boxes

    Supporting Swifts

    Swifts are such highly iconic bird in the UK, although their numbers are in sharp decline due to reduced food availability and fewer nesting places. 

    Homewood School students and teachers have been doing their bit to support local swifts by creating their own swift nesting boxes. 

    Tenterden Wildlife have donated towards the costs of the materials, and we'll be installing them soon. 

    Watch this space for photos of the boxes in situ and hopefully some occupants soon!
