This afternoon - conditions not much better than this morning but there was some shelter from the plantation. House Martins in particular were concentrating on feeding over the Res'r with around 70 there plus around 30 Swallows. Not often House Martins outnumber Swallows!

Large movement of House Martins on the coast at weekend
Swallows were feeding in a tight flock together this morning in the lee of some trees out of the wind at Barkisland. About 30.
Went over to Hornsea Mere this afternoon Dave and there were hundreds of House Martins and Swallows, but I reckon Martins outnumbered Swallows 2 to 1 at least. On Saturday there were about 30 House Martins around our house but only a handful of Swallows over the fields. A much better year for Martins I reckon.
Strange where these House Martins have appeared from. Very few around Queensbury this summer and certainly none of the usual breeders.
