Hirundines...all 3 common species being seen daily in variable numbers. Sand Martins are the most numerous with counts up to 100. The number of feeding hirundines is likely to be dictated by the vast numbers of Midges? that fill the air on some days.
Swallows are reported in single figures and House Martins in counts of 1 or 2 birds.
