Bird campaigner. Nature author of #Fledgling about how I rescued raised & released 2 wild birds: one made nests in my hair for 84 days AND Nature Needs You -The Fight To Save Our Swifts about my swift brick campaign to save birds reliant on our 🏡 to breed🪶
In 2023, the Labour party supported mandating swift bricks, whipping FOR the swifts brick amendment. 2 years later, the same Ministers in charge of Housing put a 3 line whip (the most extreme block) AGAINST swift bricks. Listen to the strength of support in this powerful speech.

As I spend the day in Parliament, please lobby politicians from your computers! Email your MP even if you’ve done it before. Without swift bricks there is no secure nesting habitat for cavity nesting birds. They can’t stabilise their crashing population’s without breeding. Obvs.

British icon, hilarious comic & bird-kind Bill Bailey thinks securing homes for birds reliant on cavity nesting habitat is an ace idea. The swift brick debate is tomorrow. Help the birds. Email SWIFT BRICKS to [email protected] & [email protected]

One of the things I do to try to stop getting stressed by my campaign is draw. Obviously I draw birds. Starlings are one of the 8 species who nest in swift bricks and one of the 4 Red listed united with the others in their plight due to loss of cavity nesting habitat.
