After last year's positive action by Lewisham Homes and Breyer Group there was some bad news this month when it was discovered that scaffolding was over-due for removal (ie it was still up when the swifts returned) and that Lewisham Homes had gone overboard with installing pigeon spikes (a potential death-trap for swifts if they are placed near or below their nests).
After some frantic e-mailing by Steven Robinson of Swift Conservation the scaffolding and some of the pigeon spikes were removed and a swift-friendly environment has resumed in Burnt Ash Road. Phew!
