Swift numbers have declined steadily in recent decades; they are on the UK’s Red List of Birds of Conservation Concern, and they need our help. Hang this nest box (£45) beneath your roof eaves to provide a safe, welcoming home for Swifts. Its entry hole measures 28x65mm and is designed to keep Starlings out, while its internal nest cup will encourage any Swift inspecting the box to take up residence.
House Martin nest cup (£18). Mount this home for summer visitors high, beneath the eaves between north and east, to ensure birds have a safe launch.
