The RSPB is encouraging people to sign up to be West Midlands Swift Champions, to help record species numbers and ensure they have places to nest.

It comes as the number of swifts has declined by more than 60% in the last 25 years, the charity says.

Volunteers who join the project will conduct swift surveys, engage with communities, attend events and respond to planning applications to see where nesting sites could be implemented.
