Swift Survey in Kilteevan Today

Representatives from Kilteevan Tidy Towns and Kilteevan National School were delighted to welcome John Meade from BirdWatch Ireland to the village today. John was carrying out a survey of Swifts in Co Roscommon.

Swifts spend over eight months of the year in Southern Africa. They travel to Ireland each Summer to nest.   From May to August you can encounter Swifts. You will usually hear Swifts before you see them, their distinctive 'screaming' call is uttered on the wing as they fly superbly over rooftops at high speed.

Swifts have adapted to nesting in cavities where found in buildings in our cities, towns, and villages. Their future is seriously threatened in Ireland due primarily to the loss of nesting sites. 

We examined the possibility of nesting sites in Kilteevan today. If you are aware of any Swifts in Kilteevan please let us know. We will continue to learn and work in support of swifts into the future. Our thanks to John Meade for all his advice.
