About the event

Swifts delight us in summer with their swooping exhilarating flight, migrating thousands of miles to breed here. Hear about the incredible lifestyle of these iconic birds illustrated with video clips of their behaviour from their nests sites. Learn about their life on the wing, the threats they face, and why they are in such serious decline. But Tanya and Edmund Hoare of Sedbergh Community Swifts explain why swifts are birds that we CAN help! They will be bringing lots of exhibits to show.

We are a friendly, local group of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust who meet throughout the year to share our interest in the natural world. Our wildlife talks are held in the Church of the Ascension hall, Michaelson Avenue, Torrisholme, LA4 6RH at 7.30pm on the second Friday of every month from September to March. Anyone who enjoys nature is welcome. Entry is £3 (includes free refreshments).
