As #WorldSwiftDay comes to end, we wanted to share the artwork @Kim_Squirrell has been working up for #BridportSwiftTown, a new community campaign to celebrate & help protect these awe inspiring birds.
A spectrogram of swift calls recorded in Bridport by sound artist Ezra Grey. The X axis is time, Y is frequency. Ezra is part of #BridportSwiftTown collective of artists creating work to celebrate these wonderful but endangered birds.

A great turnout at the Bridport Town Hall to hear Edward Mayer from Swift Conservation with a funny, inspiring & informative talk on swifts. We learnt a lot about how we can begin our Swift Town to celebrate & protect this endangered species @Dorset_NL @DorsetWildlife @BeccyRSPB
