Can usually be found birding along the Humber (East Halton to Goxhill) or around Keelby, Lincs. Also interested in Butterflies, Moths and Post Punk music!

I am a member of a local Swift Group and we try to work with developers to try and get Swift boxes / Swift bricks incorporated into new build housing. Unfortunately, from my experience the majority of developers are just not interested.
