Details
Swift numbers have declined steadily in recent decades; they are on the UK Red List of birds of highest conservation concern, and they need our help. This nest box has been designed in conjunction with Action for Swifts – a voluntary organisation working solely for the conservation of Swifts.

Product description
The RSPB Swift nest box fits directly beneath even the narrowest of eaves, and its sloping roof improves durability and makes it hard for predators to gain purchase.
Its entry hole measures 28 x 65mm and is designed to keep Starlings out, while its internal nest cup will encourage any Swift inspecting the box to take up residence. Swifts prefer to occupy nest boxes that contain a nest cup, compared to those without.
- Handcrafted in the UK, this Swift nest box is made from FSC® certified timber.
- Overall measurements are 44cm wide, 21.7cm tall (at the back), 12cm tall (at the front) and 20.2cm deep at the deepest point.
- Weight is approximately 3.5kg.
The type of timber used for this nest box is 2cm thick pine wood, containing a high proportion of natural resins which help to protect the wood. This thickness is important both for longevity of the nest box, and to offer added insulation for nesting Swifts.
The document attached below (and also supplied with the nest box) contains all you need to know to help you make this an ideal breeding home for these epic adventurers as they seek a safe place in summer. It also contains lots of information on other ways you can help Swifts, including submitting sightings of nesting Swifts to the RSPB SwiftMapper.
