Castletown gets new homes for endangered Swifts

Four new Swift nesting boxes have been installed in Castletown Square.

The bird nests at Manx National Heritage's new visitor hub are to help protect the declining Swift population.

The project aims to encourage wildlife-friendly building practices as nearly half of the Island's breeding Swifts have disappeared since the early 2000s.

Conservationists hope the initiative will help secure the future of these remarkable birds for generations.
