Well, we are there - today the sand martin wall is, basically, finished! This picture, taken at around lunch time today, shows how far we have come and, with only a few bits and pieces to complete (the bank to the left will be completed and the roof area will look a little greener) we are pretty much there, not only a sand martin wall but a multi-functional bat roost and amphibian/reptile hibernation and refuge site...and right in the middle of town!
Inside the backs are on the holes..
and the sand is in them ready for sand martins to move in...
And, finally, a picture of the lovely people that built it...
Lee, on the far right, is the lady who is responsible for the fantastic look of the front, using her cake making skills to get the texture of the render just right, whilst Lloyd (far left) and Phil (middle) provided the muscle (and the brick work and woodworking skills) - I think you will agree, it is a job well done!
