<p>The UK swift population is estimated at 59,000 pairs (2016) Swift population trends
are monitored annually by the BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey (BBS), which recorded
a decline of 62% between 1995 and 2021, and of 40% between 2011 and 2021. Due to the
declines recorded by BBS, swifts were added to the Red List of Birds of Conservation
Concern in the UK in 2021 and are considered ‘Endangered’ at GB level.</p><p>Natural
England is currently undertaking a review of the conservation interventions needed
to support the recovery of over 100 of our most threatened bird species, including
