The sound and sight of swifts often herald summer’s arrival. Each year they migrate from Africa to Wales
to nest and raise their young. Step inside our nature-rich patch to discover a giant willow swift surrounded by wetland, coastal and brownfield habitats reflecting Cardiff Bay, a hotspot for swifts. Spot wildflowers and pollinators and learn more about swifts, the challenges they face and what we can do to help them.
