New Milton Estate Swifts 2025

You can read about the success of Swifts in 2024 on this estate here and that has links to previous blogs on the subject. There were 78 pairs of Swifts occupying nest chambers on the estate this year which appears to be close to the carrying capacity. Two pairs also occupied Model 30 Swift boxes on a house adjacent to the estate. Talks with the Council about providing additional Swift boxes just outside this core area are ongoing but the signs are promising.
