There's nothing common about swifts
Swift Conservation Ireland is a volunteer led initiative working on the conservation of the swift in Ireland. The project began with Lynda Huxle's interest in swifts which began while working at ATU Mayo campus in Castlebar. She began recording numbers and studying nest sites on campus in the summer months, and noticed that fewer birds returning each year. Lynda was able to turn her own worries into a far reaching national project of conservation: spreading and sharing knowledge, and making a real impact.
