The Swifts are nearly here!
But WHERE will they nest?
RTÉ’s Liam Geraghty meets feather-fixated invento Stephen de Beer, who has created a hub for returning immigrant Swifts.
Liam writes:
Next month we can expect to see the arrival of Swifts in our skies again however the latest Countryside Bird Survey shows an alarming 40% decline in their numbers.
While the reason for the decline remains unknown it’s thought that a significant factor might be renovations of old buildings meaning a loss in available nest sites for the Swift.
This is where Stephan comes in – he’s a South African living in Kerry and has turned to real estate for birds as a solution, and in doing so, founded a fledgling business for himself

The excellent Meet Your Maker podcast meet Sesame Street writer Ed Valentine (top right).
Host Liam Geraghty writes:
I met with kids TV writer Ed Valentine to chat about how he got to Sesame Street, the challenges of writing for Muppets and where he keeps his THREE Emmys!
As Ed sez on the podcast:
“The Street is, in its own way, a very real place. It was the first integrated neighborhood I lived in. The inter-play of humans and Muppets thought me more than the reading and writing.”
