About the event

Globe-spanning athletes with amazing life-stories, swifts have sadly declined by 76% since 1995 - but conservation measures can help, and Menai Bridge hosts one of the country's most successful swift nest-box sites. Hear about North Wales Wildlife Trust's research work with Bangor University and BTO Cymru, and join swift officer Ben Stammers to survey the swifts as they return to the colony for the evening.

The event organiser speaks Welsh, please feel free to use Welsh or English during this event.
