House Martins

We have been watching these house martins for some two weeks as, initially, they showed interest in each other (24th May), then....

....started showing interest in setting up house together in the gable-end of our house (29th May), an on-and-off process which continued....

....through the end of May into June until, in the last few days, they....

....have really got cracking on the job of building a nest, with almost constant to-ing and fro-ing for mud.

Today, one of them was working on the inside, with the nest looking almost finished, to the extent that, under the watchful gaze of one of their neighbours....

....the next generation was being started.
