Re: Housemartins

Thank you guys so much for your help,
it was great sitting out doors last summer & watching them fly about in the air catching insects, & then feeding their youngs, hearing the babies was special,
they really didnt mind us being there, we just left them to do what had to be done, we must have had about 10 flying about in the garden, we even saw one of the parents encourage a young one from its nest with food,
then it eventually flew out, flew around the garden,
i have 2 stone bird baths that i keep filled, & theres plenty of clay in my garden for them, & sawdust/straw/hay from the hutch
i will buy one for them just incase they dont build a nest
