First baby swallows have fledged 18th June

The Swallows have returned!

The Swallows have returned!
While the Swallows were holidaying in Africa, the little Wren has built its nest using the Swallows' mud nest as a base. We've put up a new platorm under the eaves for future nests - but will the Swallows & Wrens co-habit?!

House Martins enjoying the site over the weekend while the builders are away!

Several Barn Swallows was been swooping into the renovated studio and the outbuildings - one during a meeting with the Window designer. They were most likely nesting there in past years - so the mission is to set up nesting boxes for them.

 These creatures are our link to Africa!

Swifts are also in decline - so we are hoping to encourage them to settle on the site as well.
