Swift Awareness Week, which aims to highlight the plight of the UK's declining Common Swifts, runs from 28 June-6 July 2025.

Swift Awareness Week starts this Saturday [28 June 2025], with 100 events taking place to help raise the profile of Common Swift.

Swift is in steep decline in the UK but there is now grassroots support across the country in the form of more than 150 local swift groups, with more forming each year.

Groups from Devon to Aberdeenshire and from Kent to North Wales will be running swift-watching evenings or information. Some will have live webcams allowing visitors to see inside active nests.
