    Sand Martins return

    It is looking like the sand martins may nest at Blashford this year after being missing in 2015. The first shot is from yesterday when quite a few were visiting the nest bank and is quite a crop - around 20 metres away




    but hopeful later on for some really close shots like this one from 2014 when some were perching just 3 metres in front of the hide

                cheers Paul

                like No2
                that's really the main shot, the first is more an illustration - too far really for anything else
