Thursday 18th June 2026
Watch and enjoy Common Swift at Haughton House in Alford!
Join North East Scotland Swifts and Aberdeenshire Ranger to identify, and learn about Swifts incredible lifestyle. A red list species in a great deal of trouble, come along not only to enjoy their aerial expertise but to find out what you can do to help them. After swift spotting at the House we will wander to the river where we may see feeding and some insect life our swifts depend on!
Meet at the Haughton House car park near the play area at 8.30pm (go past the Haughton Park station for Alford Valley mini railway and turn right). Suitable for all, with gentle walking, and some standing! This is a weather dependant event so come prepared. Light rain is ok but please get in touch if unsure before setting out although if the event is cancelled bookers will be contacted by email, it may be at late notice!
This is a FREE event but a suggested donation of £4 is welcome towards NES Swifts conservation work.
