Sand Martins back in town at the Haugh!

my first Martin was spotted passing over the garden a few days ago so they have arived
I saw lots today at Highfield Garden world they nest under the eaves of a house at the car park they were flying around everywhere outside the restaurant at the Garden Centre

I do tend to get swifts pass over during Summer but this is my first sighting for the year
A Swallow from Seahouses, (still sorting out the holiday pics ... )
It didn't rain ALL the time.
Just one Seahouses Sand Martin
Loads of Seahouses Sand Martins!
Many thanks to Linda for kickstarting the 2023 thread, and to all those who shared their sightings, photos and videos for 2023. I've just heard of the first sighting of a swallow in the Midlands, so it's an ideal time to kickstart: Swifts, Swallows & Martins, share your photos and videos here 2024
