Did you know? Swifts eat, sleep, drink, mate, & even bathe on the wing...rarely landing except to nest. They can switch off one half of their brain to rest, drink by gliding low over water to take sips, & fly through rain to bathe! 🌧️ #SwiftAwarenessWeek 📽️ David @ The HALL of EINAR

Today's dawn chorus soloist...the Song Thrush, clear, bold, and full of gusto. They repeat each phrase two, three, sometimes four times, like they’re trying it out until it’s just right. Have you heard one calling the morning awake? ☀️

Swifts are uniquely adapted for life on the wing... Tiny legs mean they're clumsy on the ground but once airborne their long, curved wings & forked tails make them seriously impressive fliers. And they are FAST - capable of speeds up to 69 mph! #SwiftAwarenessWeek

It's the last day of #NationalNestboxWeek! Why not give birds a helping hand by leaving out nesting materials? Piles of twigs, moss & grass cuttings, or natural wool all go down well with busy nest builders... 👇

70% of UK land is farmed. If we want nature to recover, this is where it happens. Farmers like James Rebanks are already doing it – farming with wildlife, not against it. But without proper funding, we risk losing it all. Rachel Reeves: increase funding, grow our future.
