As part of a collection of mixed media drawings produced in response to the decline in UK breeding populations of swifts by 51% from 1995 to 2005. To help raise the profile of the swift and to spread the word about the RSPB's national project 'Swift Cities', I have created a collection of work that demonstrates the struggle for swifts to find a suitable nesting site.
