Tayside Biodiversity - Swift Survey
By clicking the RSPB’s National Swift Mapper, this helps recording breeding hotspots for swifts and keeping their homes safe. The following article Help nesting Swifts – Take part in Swift Mapper, is a very helpful article that gives more details about swifts as well as accessing an online web-based mapping system and how to download the app. Swift sightings that are beneficial to report and can range from flying in buildings to nest boxes. If you spot any nonlocal breeding birds, then please record via BirdTrack.
