Despite this year’s House Martin success on my estate it is depressing to be informed by a neighbour that they witnessed their’s hosing down a nest. It’s possibly occurring on other houses as well. Obviously an offence under the W&C Act 1981 but getting proof😬 House Martin Conservation UK & Ireland

Adjacent houses in Rye. One with netting to prevent nesting birds, one provided nest bowls... with baby House Martins (it's a rapidly declining species) peeping out. I know which house and world I'd rather live in. 💚

The local House Martin colony at Shafford Farm, St Albans has 45 nests this year; up 8 on 2023. However, it all seems later this time around with no fledged young just yet (June 25 last year) and many nests still under construction. #hertsbirds

House Martin update. One of my nests fledged on Sunday. A typical feature is a rather fluttery flight style and uncertain landing techniques. Unfortunately not been able to capture events because of the weather etc. so here are some snaps from previous years. House Martin Conservation UK & Ireland

Have decided not to sell my house. I can't bear to leave my house martins which I adore. They are shifty little bastards which don't film easily and don't like me using my front lawn but their presence is an elixir. I am privileged to have them and appreciate their tyrany v much

For the third year running we have seen newly fledged house martins being tolerated by swifts. This bird has just spent its second night in the swift box. jonathanpomroy.co.uk

First glimpse of one of the young House Martins in the box on our house. Both adults bringing in plenty of food. What a treat to have them 🙌. #Glosbirds House Martin Conservation UK & Ireland
