There's plenty of mud around there, the river's about 50 metres away which might account for the popularity of the nesting site.

Though why that particular house in a terrace of practically identical ones is a mystery.

I suppose it might be a memory thing since the terrace has been there for 150 years or so and the birds appear to return whence they were hatched.

And they're probably house martins.

Saw a swallow/swift on Sunday.

By yesterday evening they were busily building a new nest in the eaves of a house that they favour mightily for some reason.

It was your dad. You better ask him.

I doubt it mate, his ashes were scattered just off North Stack by the RNLI 10 years ago.

Good attempt though.

Saw one in Cumbria today. Probably slightly radioactive though.
