WenSwifts at risk and Swift Bricks<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/17/swifts-decline-uk-birds-swift-bricks" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/17/swifts-decline-uk-birds-swift-bricks</a>Swift populations slumped by 66% between 1995 and 2022 in Britain and have continued a rapid downward trend. Since the last count of 59,000 breeding pairs, the population this summer is set to be just 40,000 pairs. In five years’ time, there could be fewer than 25,000.We have Swifts, House Martins and bats competing for the insects around us in the twilight.

Nona RoseIt’s not the view you get in the tourist shots but this is the view you get when you actually cross the bridge. I think it’s just as pretty as the side on view.

Nona RoseDay 23 of <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ArtAdventCalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArtAdventCalendar</a> is a recent shot, literally taken a couple of days ago. I love my city, I just wish it wasn’t filled with people when I want to take photos 😂The poem is “Requiem for a Society” and while I haven’t put a <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ContentWarning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ContentWarning</a> on this post as a whole, I will suggest a CW for the poem as it deals with mental health (I’ve struggled with whether to say exactly what the issue is because I don’t want to ruin the end but I don’t want to upset anyone either).
