Tuesday 15 May
Outside the bathroom window this morning the distinctive house martin tweetling. I drew backt the curtains very carefully and there peeping out of the artificial nest was little black and white head. The bird dropped out of the nest quickly followed by a second and my heart dropped, I've scared them away and they've only just got here. But no, the birds flew around the back garden and back into the nest, phew.
It's so nice to have them back and that at last the artificial nests are being used by something other than blue tits!

A phenological diary for Goathland and surrounds.
About...
Does what it says on the tin. An online diary of nature and garden notes based in and around Goathland, a small village in the middle of the North York Moors. We have a wide range of birds which visit the garden but being surrounded not only by moorland but also pasture land and some woodland including some lovely mature trees means we have an even greater species list that you might expect. The garden is predominantly herbaceous beds with some shrubbery areas and a fair expanse of grass.
