Sand Martins

I came across a very accesible small colony yesterday - is it okay to publish details?

EDIT: It's immediately upstream of Elland Bridge by the side of the towpath. There were six adults present two of which were seen entering nest holes in a derelict mill.
There were two adults present there in April.

Nice one Charlie. I can't see any problems with that. We already have one or two potential sites but they seem to be a bit hit and miss from year to year.

.. and about the same number just around the corner in the side of the bridge itself (in the tarmac car park) - visible from our (GBN/GFB) window.

That's great, will do a quick count next time I'm in the area - hopefully they will be a permanent feature.
