How about this for advertising! Getting the seal of approval from Azina the Peregrine on a nest we provided with the help of @PeakBoxes via our trustee @StevieJoeWatson
Really pleased to be asked to produce a cut-away replica of the Peregrin nest box on St George's Church, Sheffield which is about to go on display at splendid Weston Park Museum @raptor_jimmi @MarkCocker2 @DerbysWildlife @IoloWilliams2 @sunartfields @peregrinefund @SIBirdClub

It’s a wrap for this season, we raised a total of £672.62 (net) though our fund raising, bought, collected and placed a total of 27 potential new swift nests. A special thanks to @PeakBoxes and to everyone who bought a pin or donated. 1/3.

Pleased to get this corner double up in Castleford today.Wakefield district housing have damaged this colony with re-roofing but Lorraine has 3 pairs already and we funded these 2 extra nesting places through our pin badge sales. Can you spot the existing nests? (White streaks)

First of 25 Swift boxes going up in Totley, Sheffield today.
