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.
I’ve been seeing a steady stream of them commuting south overhead the last few days here in east Kent. They don’t hang about these parts like the swifts, but the def pass through.
