51st Garden Tick (1 Viewer)

Two House Martins made brief rest stops in a dead tree in my garden this morning. They have only been occasional fly-overs before this year and as far as I know the nearest nests are about a mile away. 41 garden ticks this year, 51 in total.

And to think I nearly decided to go out this morning.......

A lovely bird to have visit your garden Pat. I've been watching my neighbours HMs going to and fro from the nest only a few yards away. I want them to send their chums to my des res but none yet.
 
Hi Pat,

You're lucky, I've seen very few HM at all this year, even in places where I've seen them in the past. Does anyone know whether numbers ARE down?

Bill.
 
Hi Pat and all,
House Martins galore here!!:t:
Youngsters still being fed in the nest under the eaves....their twitterings,acrobatic comings and goings are always sorely missed when they leave us in the Autumn!
