A woman marched through London almost naked and painted as a bird to protest the decline of the swift population.
On Saturday, Hannah Bourne-Taylor, 36, from Oxfordshire, arrived at Hyde Park wearing blue, black and white body paint applied by artist Guido Daniele.
She presented a petition supported by the Royal Society for Protection of Birds (RSPB) and Rewriting Extinction.
Standing at Speaker’s Corner in the park, Ms Bourne-Taylor spoke from the point of view of the swift population.
“We are screaming for you to help us, to look up to remember you share your home with other kinds,” she said.
“Through these shared struggles we only ask for one thing, a safe place to rest after our perilous journey home.”
