Worthing and Adur Swift Group
Worthing and Adur Swift Group is part of SDOS and was formed in 2025, led by Steve Lawless, with an enthusiastic and dedicated team of intrepid swift lovers.
In this first season they have dedicated time, primarily, to surveying in order to get an idea of the number of nests in Worthing. A couple of the team in Shoreham have also tried to keep an eye on swifts nesting in houses on Shoreham Beach and in the town.
To date they have logged 21 nests in Worthing, 1 in Shoreham, and 1 in Shoreham Beach. Swiftmapper is being used to record both screaming parties and nest sites, and the systematic survey work has identified additional nest sites from those recorded in previous years.
