Nick Brown, who leads the Derbyshire Swift Conservation Project, told theHe added: "Swifts of course cannot get into the house itself and they leave very little mess either in the box or down the wall outside - often people don't even realise they have swifts nesting."
In May 2021, the DSCP recommended a number of swift boxes should be installed in homes planned off Park Road in Swadlincote. It also asked for swift boxes to be installed on a planned apartment block in Derby city centre in 2020. The swift bricks can be bought for around £30 or £40 each and do not need maintenance or replacement and are installed high in the eaves of buildings, out of direct sunlight.
