It’s a serious decline. I actually saw my largest flock of the year yesterday, all juveniles, maybe 50 or so. Not that long ago there was a massive colony nesting all over a housing estate near me, but they were possibly the only happy residents so the area has been redeveloped over a few years, and they’ve all gone.

What happened to all the house martins? When I was a kid, they used to make nests in the eaves of the flats opposite us where my best mate lived. Spring/summer was marked by hundreds of them swooping in and out all day long. I can’t recall the last time I saw one.
