+Derbyshire Dave Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 1 hour ago, Doc said: There is about 15 Sand Martins around the hide near the visitors centre Ron That's good to hear. We invested in a House Martin Nest box for the gable of our house, so hopefully they'll be on the way soon too. We had house martins nesting when we first came here, but haven't had any for about 15 years, although other people in the street still do. It'll be interesting to see if they use it.
