Theyโre backโฆ and Granton is ready to celebrate!
The swifts have returned, slicing through the skies with their unmistakable call, bringing with them the feeling that summer has truly arrived. After travelling thousands of miles, these incredible birds have come home once againโฆ and Granton is welcoming them with open arms.
This week, our Make and Mingle group (along with others) were busy crafting a beautiful handmade banner to display outside our community building showing our appreciation for these remarkable travellers.
And the celebrations don't stop there...
Join Katie from Granton Community Gardeners and RSPB for a Migration Party!
11pm - 1pm at Granton Community Garden
Come gather, connect, and celebrate the swifts with neighbours, friends, and fellow nature lovers. Expect:

Whether youโve watched them for years or are noticing them for the first time, this is a moment to pause, look up, and share in something special together.
Letโs celebrate their return and what it means to feel at home.
