Up to 14 screaming #Swifts. In De Montfort Road, #Lewes, last night, two more boxes are now occupied by Swifts. One is a new one where they have never been seen before and the other has had Swifts for over 20 years.
Here are some of the Swifts flying over St. Anne's Church.
A quiet day and evening with very few #Swifts about between the showers of rain. We saw one entry at St. Anne's Church, #Lewes, and two further up Western Road. Three very loud screamers zooming about after 9.30!
Exciting evening with groups of up to 15 #Swifts screaming around our area of #Lewes and lots of banging by prospecting Swifts!
Wonderful views of #Swifts over the Cockshut wetlands, #Lewes by Andrew Lloyd - thank you! A fantastic regeneration project from @lewesdc.bsky.social and Ouse and Adur Rivers Trust!
Wonderful screaming parties of #Swifts along De Montfort Road tonight and we saw an entry to a nest box at the rear of Western Road. Three entries and two exits at St. Anne's Church and up to 11 Swifts swooping around our area of #Lewes.
Five #Swift nests at The Maltings and 7 in Station Street - bringing our 2026 total to 65 in #Lewes -only five fewer than this time last year.
Fantastic news from St. John's Terrace - one of the artificial House Martin cups that we installed there on 6th May is now occupied!
We had 92 lovely visitors to the launch of our #Lewes #Tree Festival at Lewes Climate Hub today!
Lots of interesting talks about which trees to plant in Lewes gardens!
Thank you to Rustic Tim for the wonderful woodcraft flower-making!
Ignoring the rain to weed and mulch the 14 #trees we planted in Malling Close and The Martlets in 2024. We are hoping to plant 10 more nearby in Hereward Way in November this year.
If you would like to find out more about what we do around #Lewes, pop in to see us on Saturday!
Flowers now opening on the Lime #trees outside Shelley's in #Lewes High Street - and buzzing with bees!
