Wimborne Swifts

Swifts have always been a feature in our skies above Wimborne. Their distinctive screams as they zip around the Minster, across the square and neighbouring streets, but their numbers have dwindled and they NEED OUR HELP. 

This is a joint venture between Wilding Wimborne and Merley Nature Group. We are community led groups working to improve our environment and the health of out community. Working closely together helps to achieve even bigger and better things.
We have many projects on the go throught the year which include surveying Wimborne to better understand where Swifts are concentrated and to try and identify nest sites, we can then focus our efforts to safeguard existing nest locations and to provide more nesting sites, to hopefully expand the population.
We are also part of a wider Swift network across Dorset, all working together to halt the decline of Swifts and reverse their fortunes.
