Today (7th June) is World Swift Day. It’s that time of the year when we see the return of this beautiful bird to the Isle of Wight, with many already spotted in the last few weeks.
For those on Facebook Wight Swifts is a great group where you can share your sightings, videos and photos of Swifts. It’s a great place to find out more about Swifts and what you can do to encourage them to return year after year.
