House martins

From Nolton resident Ifor Jones - Our numbers also down this year, and I had a scout around this morning, with two nests on the cliffs having a lot of comings and goings, and a new nest under construction on the bottom house by the road junction. This evening two of the pub nests are receiving visits.

The Sand martins are also nesting on the opposite cliff, with four burrows receiving visits this morning.

It seems to be a good year for Lesser whitethroats, and today heard one from the garden for the first time, having just got back from seeing two at The Gann, and last week at three points near Sandy Haven.
