Nine triple nesting boxes for Common swift have been installed on one of the towers of the old Belle Vue brewery, based on advice from the Swift Working Group. This migratory bird closely resembles a swallow. However, it does not build a nest but settles in cavities. The Common swift spends most of its life in flight, constantly hunting for insects. Present in our regions from April to August, it winters in southern Africa, several thousand kilometers away from home. The pairs are faithful for life and can use the same nesting site for more than 15 years. The proximity of the canal allows it to drink here.
