swift survey 2020

'County Roscommon Swift Survey 2020' is an initiative of Roscommon County Council Heritage Office and County Roscommon Heritage Forum and is funded by Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht - National Parks and Wildlife Service’s National Biodiversity Action Plan Fund.

Swifts are a small migratory bird that visits Ireland each year to nest. Their future is seriously threatened in Ireland due primarily to the loss of nesting sites. There is a lot that can be done to halt the decline in #Roscommon Swift population.

The First Step is knowing how many Swifts there are & where they nest in our towns and villages. The support and active engagement of local communities is critical to building greater awareness of this unique bird species and in undertaking conservation action where it is most needed.
