Ralph Mackridge, Project Manager for Exeter Wild City, has contacted Devon Birds seeking information about Swifts in Exeter.

Ralph writes: “The Exeter Wild City project aims to enhance the biodiversity of the city and engage residents and visitors in that process. There are a number of major projects that are currently in development under the EWC banner. To add to our list of projects I'm very taken with the idea of developing a project about Swifts in the city. Swifts are charismatic birds whose behaviour and life cycle are ideal for creating a sense of wonder and concern among people – and there are a lot of things that can be done to increase and protect their nesting sites in the city.”
