Good news from the Sand Martin Box:
Over the past week the last two available nest holes have been excavated and all 24 nest holes are now occupied. The earliest broods have already fledged and it's looking like a successful season so far, with 300 Sand Martins counted over Wintersett Res today.
Nationally, there can't be many, if any, artificial Sand Martin nest sites, that can boast an amazing 100% occupancy.
