Only seen two single House Martins in North Somercotes this year on the 13th. and 18th. May. I think the incredibly dry springs mean a shortage of mud for nest building. I have put up an artificial nest in a place where they've nested before but once a population is gone it's gone. At least in Cleethorpes the tide comes in twice a day keeping the mud wet.

Good to see house martins clinging on as a breeding species in Cleethorpes. One bird seems to be incubating in a nest even before it is completed. The mud  comes from the beach.

This morning, a cuckoo was calling from the former Pleasure Island amusement park, and a deer was near the foreshore chalets.

At the boating lake, a barnacle goose looks very poorly after sustaining a neck/head  injury.
