Are you excited for the arrival of Spring? So are we! As the weather warms up, it’s almost time to welcome back one of our most beloved seasonal visitors: the incredible, high-flying Swift.
To kick off the 2026 Swift season and celebrate the second year of the Derbyshire Dales Swift Project, you are invited to a fantastic, family-friendly event: Homes for Swifts: A Derbyshire Dales Celebration.
Whether you’re a lifelong bird lover or just looking for a wonderful day out with the family, this free event has something for everyone. Come learn, share stories, and connect with fellow nature enthusiasts who care about protecting our local wildlife!
This full-day celebration is packed with activities, talks, and performances for all ages. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:
Swifts are remarkable birds that eat, sleep, and even mate on the wing. However, their numbers have been declining, largely due to a loss of suitable nesting sites. By attending this celebration, you’re not just guaranteed a fun day out; you’re also joining a community dedicated to making the Derbyshire Dales a safe, welcoming home for these speedy birds.
Don't miss out on this fun and friendly community event. Grab your friends and family, and get ready to celebrate the return of the Swifts!
