  • Comment: There is enough coverage here for an article, but it is written in a way that is promotional and more like a CV. Can you disclose any WP:COI? There should be less detail - a meeting with someone is not a notable event, and so this become longer than needed and feels promotional. Would suggest drastic simplification to notable, fact based events and disclose any COI. Lacanic (talk) 11:51, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

Hannah Bourne-Taylor (born 12 September 1986)[1][2] is an English conservation campaigner, bird surveyor and author. She is the founder of The Feather Speech, a campaign calling on UK governments to mandate swift bricks in new housing developments.[3][4]

Her campaigning contributed to a January 2026 Scottish Parliament vote making Scotland the first part of the UK to require swift bricks in new buildings by law, while equivalent proposals for England have twice been rejected at Westminster.[5] She is the author of Fledgling (2022) and Nature Needs You: The Fight to Save Our Swifts (2025), and in 2023 founded the Feather Speech Consultancy to advise housebuilders on incorporating conservation measures into developments.[6] She is also a trustee of the Farmland Bird Aid Network.[7]

Early life and education

Bourne-Taylor was born in Dorset.[8] Her father was an ecologist and her mother a nurse; owing to their work, she moved frequently as a child, living in 19 different houses around Britain.[8] She has said that watching swifts above "the rooftops of any village I lived in" gave her "routine and wonder" amid a childhood she has described as disrupted, and that her father "taught me to notice things, not just to look at them".[8]

Bourne-Taylor trained as a photographer at the London College of Fashion, graduating with a first-class degree in fashion photography in 2008.[9][8] She subsequently worked as a model and as an equine photographer, with work exhibited at the Royal Academy and in solo exhibitions in London and New York.[9][10]

Early career

In 2013, Bourne-Taylor moved to Accra with her husband Robin Bourne-Taylor, who had taken up a role with the Right to Dream Academy, a football and education charity.[11][12] The couple later moved to a rural area beside the Volta River where, unable to work under the terms of her visa, Bourne-Taylor has said she felt reduced to the status of a "trailing spouse".[13][14] While in Ghana, she supported Right to Dream's media team, producing a documentary series on the charity's girls' education programme.[12][10]

In 2018, Bourne-Taylor rescued an abandoned bronze mannikin chick after a storm destroyed its nest. She hand-reared the chick over 84 days, during which it nested in her hair, before reuniting it with its wild flock.[15][16] She has written that caring for the bird helped her manage obsessive–compulsive disorder and anxiety, with which she had lived since childhood.[17] An account of the experience was published in The Guardian and reported internationally.[18][19]

Swift brick campaign

The Feather Speech (2022-24)

Common swift
Common swift

Bourne-Taylor created a petition to the UK Parliament (e-petition 626737) calling for swift bricks to be made compulsory in new housing developments in England. Swift bricks provide nesting cavities for swifts and other declining cavity-nesting birds, including house martins, house sparrows and common starlings.[20][21] The petition opened on 31 October 2022 and was publicly launched the following week.[22] On 5 November 2022, supported by the RSPB and Rewriting Extinction,[23] she launched The Feather Speech at Speakers' Corner, then walked, unclothed and painted with feather patterns by Guido Daniele, to 10 Downing Street to deliver a letter to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.[24][25]

E-petition debate

The petition reached 10,000 signatures on 10 November 2022, 100,000 signatures on 8 April 2023, and closed on 30 April 2023 having been signed by 109,894 people.[22] It triggered a Petitions Committee debate, New Housing: Swift Bricks, on 10 July 2023, led by Matt Vickers, where the levelling-up minister Dehenna Davison saying swift bricks were "not something being considered by [the Conservative] Government at the moment",[26] while shadow minister Matthew Pennycook said that the Labour Party did "not rule out mandation" without committing to it.[20][27]

Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill 2023

On 6 September 2023, Lord Goldsmith tabled a swift bricks amendment to the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill in the House of Lords, crediting Bourne-Taylor with having "single-handedly made what, for many people, appears to be a niche concern into a national campaign".[28] Baroness Taylor, for the Labour opposition, said the party was "delighted" to support it; the Conservative government, represented by Baroness Scott of Bybrook, said it would not support the amendment but would explore the issue through national planning policy. The amendment was not moved to a vote.[28][29] Bourne-Taylor said Labour peers had been whipped to support Goldsmith's 2023 amendment, and that Labour MP Barry Gardiner would table another swift brick amendment in the Commons.[30]

Continued campaigning (2024–26)

On 5 February 2024, Bourne-Taylor and Goldsmith met with Housing Secretary Michael Gove (Conservative). They also met with housebuilding lobby groups, who reportedly raised no objections to her proposal.[31] Goldsmith later publicly accused Sunak of personally blocking the policy, a claim the government disputed.[32] Bourne-Taylor's efforts were also praised by Gibraltar's Minister for the Environment John Cortes at a parliamentary event,[33][34] where he described swift bricks as a "simple, inexpensive measure" that resulted in new colonies of swifts being established in the British Overseas Territory.[35][36]

After the 2024 general election, Bourne-Taylor and Goldsmith met the new Environment Secretary Steve Reed (Labour) who reportedly told them they were "pushing at an open door".[37] Yet in May 2025, housing minister Pennycook told a House of Commons select committee that the Labour government was "not convinced" mandation was "the right approach"; a policy reversal which was reported as Labour "blocking" the proposal.[38] In June 2025, Reform UK announced support for mandatory swift bricks[39] and Gardiner urged his party to rethink their opposition to the policy.[40]

An early day motion calling on the Labour government to encourage swift bricks in its pledged 1.5 million new homes was tabled in the House of Commons on 11 November 2024.[41] It gathered 57 signatures, the great majority from Liberal Democrat MPs, including its sponsor Adam Dance. All Green MPs also signed, along with Labour, Conservative and independent MPs; and one each from the Scottish National Party, Democratic Unionist Party and Alliance.[41] In December 2024, Green MP Ellie Chowns introduced a Building Regulations (Swift Bricks) Bill as a presentation bill, a type of private member's bill unlikely to become law.[42]

Planning and Infrastructure Bill 2025

A separate amendment to a different bill, the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, was moved on Goldsmith's behalf by Lord Randall during the bill's committee stage in the Lords on 15 September 2025. It was withdrawn after Defra minister Baroness Hayman said the government preferred planning policy to building regulations.[37] Bourne-Taylor said Reed had agreed to support a swift brick mandate through the bill, but that the proposal for primary legislation was "turned down" by officials in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.[30] Reed became Housing Secretary in a reshuffle that same week, and his department subsequently dropped the mandate he had backed as Environment Secretary in favour of guidance; a reversal press coverage called a "U-turn".[43] At the bill's committee stage in the Commons on 22 May 2025, Chowns moved Gardiner's swift brick amendment,[44] which was rejected by the Labour-majority committee;[45] Bourne-Taylor publicly thanked her.[46][better source needed]

On 3 November 2025, in the Lords, a further amendment – tabled by Goldsmith, and moved to a vote by Baroness Coffey – requiring swift bricks in buildings over five metres tall was disagreed to by peers at report stage by 102 votes to 36, with every "not content" vote cast by Labour peers.[47] Baroness Young, a former RSPB chief executive who had previously supported swift bricks, voted against it.[48] Sponsors of the amendment included Gove who was appointed to the Lords in May 2025.[49] The Planning and Infrastructure Act received royal assent on 18 December 2025 without a statutory swift brick requirement.

The Labour government instead proposed a swift brick requirement in the National Planning Policy Framework, publishing a draft for consultation between December 2025 and March 2026.[50] Bourne-Taylor called this "the weakest action the government could take" – an example of "greenwashing" – and said that "there is a giant difference between toothless policy and legislation".[51] As an interim measure, the Government issued updated Planning Practice Guidance on swift bricks.[52] Separately, Homes England, the government's housing and regeneration agency, signed up to the voluntary Homes for Nature commitment,[53] requiring developers on its sites to install a nesting brick or box in every new home.[54][55]

In June 2025, Bourne-Taylor praised Jeremy Clarkson after he spoke in support of swift conservation.[56] She subsequently appeared in the fifth series of Clarkson's Farm, discussing bird conservation with Clarkson and Kaleb Cooper, and undertaking a bird survey for Diddly Squat Farm.[57][58]

Natural Environment (Scotland) Act 2026

By contrast, on 27 January 2026, the Scottish Parliament passed an amendment to the Natural Environment (Scotland) Bill, tabled by Scottish Green MSP Mark Ruskell, requiring swift bricks "where reasonably practicable and appropriate" — making Scotland the first part of the UK to mandate them by law.[59][60] As Bourne-Taylor watched from the public gallery, Scottish Conservative MSP Tim Eagle said he had "never seen a champion work so hard".[61] Ruskell hoped the law would "inspire lawmakers across the UK", and Bourne-Taylor called it a "landmark victory".[5][62] She told STV News that swift bricks are "fundamental to the existence of this 50 million-year-old species.[63] It is fantastic to see this going through".[64]

By 2026, Bourne-Taylor said the campaign was also seeking equivalent legislation in Wales,[65] where a separate campaign promoted a petition (P-06-1489), submitted by Julia Susan Barrell, that gathered almost 11,000 signatures.[66] The Senedd then debated mandating swift bricks in October 2025, but the Welsh Government, represented by Welsh Labour's Rebecca Evans, declined to introduce one.[67] Following a related amendment to the Environment (Wales) Bill in February 2026, Deputy First Minister Huw Irranca-Davies also declined to set a single-species target when pressed by Plaid Cymru's Delyth Jewell.[68]

Published works

Bourne-Taylor's debut book Fledgling was published in April 2022 by Aurum Press.[69] Based on her time in Ghana, it recounts her rescue of a common swift and the finch chick that later nested in her hair, framed around her experience of isolation as a "trailing spouse" and her lifelong obsessive–compulsive disorder.[70] The Observer described it as "intelligent, poetic and moving". It was endorsed by Stephen Moss.[71]

Bourne-Taylor's second book, Nature Needs You: The Fight to Save Our Swifts, recounting the Feather Speech campaign from its naked launch to her dealings with successive ministers,[72] was published by Elliott & Thompson in May 2025.[73][74] Jane Goodall said that readers "would fall in love with these increasingly endangered birds", and the book was endorsed by Mary Colwell.[75] It was longlisted for the 2025 Wainwright Prize for conservation writing and reviewed in Environmental Values, where it was described as "an opportunity to see an environmental campaign from the inside".[76]

Alongside her own works, Bourne-Taylor has worked as a ghostwriter and development editor, working on the memoirs of Anne Glenconner (Lady in Waiting, 2019), Norman Scott (An Accidental Icon, 2022) and Alathea Fitzalan Howard (The Windsor Diaries, 2020).[77] In 2026, she appeared alongside Chris Packham at the Oxford Literary Festival.[78] She has also spoken at the Hay Festival,[79][80] Bridport Literary Festival[81] and at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.[10]

Recognition

The Feather Speech won "campaign of the year" at the Birdwatch Birders' Choice Awards, announced in March 2024.[82] In May 2024, she was named among the campaigners in an ENDS Report "power list" of those shaping green policy and legislation.[83] In May 2025, Bourne-Taylor appeared on BBC Radio 4's Great Lives, nominating conservationist Emily Williamson as an inspiration for her own campaigning.[84]

Personal life

Bourne-Taylor lives in Oxfordshire with her husband, Robin Bourne-Taylor, a former British Army officer and rower. The couple own two rescue dogs.[85]
