Early return of Swifts to our Head Office, Elmbridge House

Our Spring visiting Swifts have been spotted returning to our Head Office at the end of April.

This is much earlier than last year and must have something to do with the glorious Spring weather we are having.

When we rebuilt our Head Office we decided to incorporate swift nesting boxes into the build as they are on the conservation red list.

These amazing birds migrate 3,400 miles from Africa to the UK each year. They sleep, eat, bath and even mate on the wing, rarely touching the ground. They pair for life, returning to the same nesting site each year.  

This is the fourth year they have returned and we are always delighted to hear their calls around our office.
