Hi there everyone, I spent an enjoyable couple of hours yesterday down on the banks of the River Ribble just outside Preston, I had noticed driving past earlier in the week that Sand Martins were burrowing into the steep sandy banks, so armed with camera set out to get some photos, a few of which are below, and more on my blogsite http://walksnwildlife.blogspot.com/

Brilliant Puffin, Great shots, looks like a good spot. Thanks for this, I used to watch a small colony near by but a building development put an end to it. I feel, thanks to this post, inspired to look for a new one!
For viewing or photography right place right time is everything. I'd rather be in the right place with poor kit than have the best kit and be in the wrong place.
Hi Sparrow, not a lot of patience needed really to see the Martins as are very active and there are 100's of them, the patience was trying to get the right shots as they are extremely quick. Not sure what part of the Ribble you live on, but these are at Walton Le Dale as the river approaches Preston. regards Gary
Hi Puffin,
Thanks. I live in Clitheroe so not too far away. I may have a drive down and see if I can spot them, but not for another week.
Cheers, Linda.

Cracking shots Puffin, thanks for sharing those and I look forward to seeing some more after the weekend.
There is something new to learn everyday...
