A good day at Malin Mansions with the first pair of House Martin settling in and carrying out running repairs on last years nest. We normally have two pairs, sometimes three, so fingers crossed 🤞 (disclaimer - not really a mansion but it sounded better) @ukhousemartins.bsky.social

@ukhousemartins.bsky.social First HMs of the year have arrived here in Cornwall. At least one chattery nest so far. Balmy southerlies meant this was bound to happen. Summer is here already!

🚨 Just a friendly reminder to users of the Mapper App housemartinconservation.com/house-martin... to re-synch it to the latest version before logging your first entries this year. It's good practice to re-synch regularly so you don't get caught out! 🚨 If you haven't already downloaded, please do! 😊

🪹 14 artificial nest cups (ANCs) for house martins are now up at Ludgrove School in Wokingham. A great collaborative project between BBOWT, @ukhousemartins.bsky.social‬, and the school 🤝 📸 Barbara Polonara

A man at the top of a ladder installing an artificial nest cup. Several other cups can be seen under the eves.

Three men stood by a ladder in front of the school building, the one in the middle holds an artificial nest cup to be installed.

From our friends,'Save our Suffolk Swifts' on X "Apologies for straying off topic but the first House Martins and Swallows are now arriving back & Suffolk is bone dry. If you have an open area create a mud splat and keep it moist until we have rain if you can. Here is a big splat in Woolpit!"

New data shows UK could be £26bn better off with 'closer EU alignment'

Is the Brexit fantasy falling apart after less than a decade? Dissent is growing rapidly - and closer EU alignment has its financial benefits.
