Nibley Swifts
Saturday 29 March 2025
Come and hear the latest on the Nibley Swift project with project co-ordinator Peter Kirmond who has news about how the project is developing and some of the interesting things it has already revealed.
As Peter says ‘The project started in 2022 after swifts had nested in a box on our house the previous year. An appeal in On The Edge hoping to find maybe half a dozen people around the village prepared to have swift boxes on their houses resulted in EIGHTY FIVE being put up that year and there are now well over 100 dotted all around the parish.
Although only a few have been nested in so far, using data from other colonies, I’ll be showing how the numbers are likely to rise and what other things I hope to find out about these exciting summer visitors. I’ll also be sharing some amazing facts about these birds.
After an interval, Megan Adamou (Community Action Officer with Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust) will give a short presentation on how they can help communities like ours with their biodiversity plans, leading into a discussion on next steps here.

Chinese Boxing
Saturday 5 April 2025
An AIR in G (Arts in Rural Gloucestershire) event.
It’s 1912, a lecture to your local Royal Asiatic Society by Sir Claude MacDonald, ambassador to Peking in 1900 during the famous Boxer Uprising. Sir Claude commanded the defence of the diplomatic quarter when it was besieged by the peasant ‘Boxer’ army. He wants to discuss China and the West ‘today’ but ‘takes you back to Peking’ in 1900, to the Imperial Palace, to hear the story of the siege from the Chinese side. It will challenge your view of the past … and the present. With post-show Q&A. Mark Kitto is also a respected China pundit and author.
