trigger2 3,133 Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Had our daily walk up the field as we have been doing since lockdown and the sand Martin's have turned up for the first time today. They seem to be competing for the same hole in the bank. We've been seeing a few bunches of lampprey also the last 4 days. Family lockdown ain't too bad. 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve never bothered mate. get a few fly fisherman down that stretch, I enjoy watching them some evenings to be honest.

They usually nest on the neighbours house, no sign of them. There was a pair started to build a nest on my house last summer I am hopping they will be back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
