Tara Adcock, Urban Birds Project Officer with BirdWatch Ireland, discusses their survey to help identify nesting swifts - which are now on Ireland's endangered list.

Netball New Zealand want World Netball to change their eligibility rules, which prevent players representing two different countries at consecutive World Cups. And yet they won't even let their Silver Ferns play Super Netball? Speaking of, Round 10 is done and we've got just one month left to play of the regular season. Over the weekend, the Giants got their first back-to-back victories in two years, the Vixens are finding form at the pointy end and the Fever are closing in on the Swifts' No.1 spot. Our interview this week is with Giants defender Erin O'Brien, who shares with us what it's been like to play alongside Casey Kopua.

‘I thought, okay, well it worked for Lady Godiva, didn't it? This whole naked stuff? So let me give that a try. I felt like it was the only option.'Just as it worked for Lady Godiva, so it has for Hannah Bourne-Taylor, the campaigner, naturalist and writer who has spent years fighting for change to help Britain's bird population — and particularly the swift.• Listen to Country Life podcast on Apple Podcasts• Listen to Country Life podcast on Spotify• Listen to Country Life podcast on Audible After spending years overseas in places where she was surrounded by birds and nature, Hannah was dismayed on her return to see how little is being done to help preserve wildlife — and particularly with regard to her favourite bird, the swift. And after deciding to do something about it, she launched the campaign which has now taken years of her life — and which, as she tells James Fisher on the Country Life Podcast, has seen her enjoy a blaze of publicity by marching up and down Whitehall without a stitch on, in a desperate, yet wildly successful, publicity stunt.She tells James about the swift, their plight, and how the simple introduction of one or two ‘swift bricks' added to each new build house could have an enormous impact at negligible cost, by providing safe nesting for birds whose former favourite spots have increasingly disappeared due to modern construction techniques.Hannah also talks about her love of nature in general and the struggles she's faced, from battling apathy and indifference to hastily adjusting a stick-on G-string in the House of Lords toilets. She also tells a tale from an earlier time in her life, when a tiny lost fledgling nested in her hair as it recuperated before rejoining its family.It's a fascinating glimpse in to the mind of a woman who is in equal measure strong, brave, eccentric and passionate. Once you've listened, we'd highly recommend Hannah's books for more: her latest, Nature Needs You, about her battle to save the swift, and Fledgling, her story that rewrites ‘the conventional boundaries of the relationships people have with animals'.Episode creditsHost: James FisherGuest: Hannah Bourne-TaylorEditor and producer: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

Taylor Swift hat viel zu sagen. Neben ihren Songs schreibt sie auch leidenschaftlich gerne in ihr Tagebuch. In der Lover Era erlaubte sie ihren Fans einen kleinen Blick in ihre Tagebücher aus der Vergangenheit zu werfen. Wie ging es einer vierzehn jährigen Taylor am Valentinstag?

The news is out. The world's best goal keeper is pregnant and will miss the rest of the 2025 Super Netball season.

Tracking devices revealed that Black Swifts spent over 99% of their time in the air during the winter, almost never touching the ground for months. What's more, the swifts flew to incredible heights, reaching the highest altitudes on nights when the moon was full – sometimes over 13,000 feet! It's the first time scientists have seen birds changing their altitude along with the cycles of the moon.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

For some birds, love is in the air. When a pair of White-throated Swifts wants to get to know each other, they meet up — on the wing — high above the ground. The birds grasp one another and, clinging together, tumble downward, for over 500 feet. Just before striking the earth, they separate, flying nonchalantly back up the canyon wall. Visit a Western canyon, and you might see a pair of swifts literally falling in love.  More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

The article provides an intimate look at Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's relationship during Super Bowl LIX week in New Orleans. It begins with their romantic dinner at Lilette restaurant with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, then weaves through various events including Travis's podcast recording with brother Jason, Swift's dinner with the Haim sisters at Gianna Restaurant, and the family dynamics between the Kelces and Swifts. The piece explores how the couple balances their high-profile careers with their personal relationship, addressing the historic implications of the Chiefs' potential three-peat while highlighting the unique situation of Travis facing his brother's former team, the Eagles.

How long can a bird fly without touching the earth? To find out, Swiss scientists attached sensors to Alpine Swifts. The sensors showed long periods when the swifts were gliding and not flapping their wings. Were the birds asleep? Scientists don't know for sure. It could be that Alpine Swifts sleep during the summer breeding season — and don't sleep at all during migration. But why do they stay aloft so long? Swifts can't perch because they have very short legs. So if they can manage it, avoiding touching down makes perfect sense.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Our 4 guests this week all have their sights on big targets. For Dungannon Swifts, they've started 2025 in the dizzy heights of 2nd in the Premiership. Where can they go from here? We speak to midfielder James Knowles about the fantastic season that the Stangmore side have had so far. For Coleraine, it's not been smooth sailing and yet with all the changes at the club they are only 9 points behind the Swifts in the league. With investment leading to some big signings, how does captain Lyndon Kane assess where the club is at currently? Plus we look ahead to the Co. Antrim Shield final with the help of Glentoran gaffer Declan Devine and Larne boss Gary Haveron. Will the Invermen make it 5-in-a-row or are the Glens about to land their first piece of silverware of this campaign?

The NSW Swifts have given their fans a Christmas gift by announcing the news of Verity Simmons' signing.It was this time last year that the two-time premiership winner announced her retirement from netball after 11 seasons at the top, instead choosing to pursue AFL Women's footy with the West Coast Eagles.Now, the NSW junior will switch back to her first love, filling the spot of pregnant Swifts midcouter Maddy Proud for the 2025 season and feeding New Zealand import Grace Nweke.We caught up with Vez to hear how it all came about on the day of her signing — turns out it all started with some rumours and a Facebook message.

In this episode I host a dialogue between Henry Shukman, British poet, Zen teacher, and author of ‘One Blade of Grass; a Zen memoir'; and John Brehm, American poet and author of ‘The Dharma of Poetry'. Henry and John share the story of their formations as poets, compare the similarities as well as the marked differences in their backgrounds, and reveal the powerful forces that inspire the creative process. Henry and John discuss the purpose and process of writing poetry, reflect on poetry as a means of contact with the sacred, and contrast the richness of poetry with attentional practices such as mindfulness and Zen.

Kate has a new book out One Garden Against the World: In Search of Hope in a Changing Climate.

Det, der kunne have været en saglig debat om politik, endte som en boksekamp om hundespisende migranter og drab på spædbørn, da Donald Trump og Kamala Harris mødtes for første og måske sidste gang til en tv-duel. Men hvis det ikke handlede om politk, hvad handlede det så om? Og var det en god idé, at Harris rystede så meget på hovedet af Trump? Kort efter debattens afslutning meldte verdensstjernen Taylor Swift sin støtte til Harris og mobiliserede muligvis en hær af 'swifties'. Hvad kommer det til at betyde for valgkampen? Kamala Harris har de seneste år ændret politik på flere områder. Vi diskuterer hendes 'flip-flops' på fracking, sundhedsområdet og 'defund the police'. Følg med hver lørdag, hvor vi vender ugen, der er gået, i valgkampen.

This is from December 2015 and features Jeremy Goldkorn — I miss him dearly! — and Terry Townshend, an absolute institution in China's birding community.I'll likely have to run another re-run next week, and I welcome your suggestions!All best,KaiserRecommendations and Links:Birding Beijing Action for SwiftsBritish Trust for OrnithologyJonathan Franzen, Purity: A Novel Cement and Pig Consumption Reveal China's Huge ChangesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Before chimneys existed, Chimney Swifts relied on old hollow trees for nesting and roosting. They can't perch, they can only cling to a rough vertical surface. As developers cleared old growth forests, Chimney Swifts began using human-built structures. But building styles have changed, making traditional brick chimneys rarer. Pesticides have reduced the populations of swifts' insect prey. People can help swifts by leaving brick or stone chimneys open from April to October and avoiding pesticides.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?
