Hello, East Dulwich is a swift hotspot, specially round Mundania Rd. These charismatic but endangered birds migrate here from Africa to breed in nests located under eaves and in roofs. Loss of nest sites through renovations and loft conversions is hastening their decline. If you identify a nest please log it on the RSPB swift map. https://swiftsurvey.org/Rspb/Home/ViewRecords or contact Lewisham Swifts https://www.facebook.com/groups/1700377583561148/ This information will help us to protect existing nests and work out where to put up additional nest boxes. Swifts are aerial acrobats and make a screaming sound particular to summer. If you see screaming parties flying at roof level there may be nests nearby.
