Buck Beck, Cleethorpes

Thanks, Adrian.
Now awaiting first House Martin’s up this part of the Beck.
Have seen a sharp decline in these numbers over the last 3-4 years.
House occupants blocking eaves is one reason, but also quite a number non-returns last year.
Interested if this is the trend locally.
 

Well done , I’ve been looking for the first swallows down by the lock gates but not seen one there yet . Not seen the kingfisher for a while either .
