#housemartin — Public Fediverse posts

Today we put up a couple of #swift boxes & this nice pair of #housemartin nest cups to attract #hirundines to live on our house.

I painted '#Swifts, Swallows & Martins' last summer as an ID guide to the four species of UK hirundines.

#Swallow, #swift and #HouseMartin populations have nearly halved, finds #UK #BirdSurvey

Reduction in insect numbers contributes to drop, and there are declines across more than a third of bird species surveyed

I missed the focus on the eye but the focus on the wing is nice too: #HouseMartin in flight.

A cute baby House Martin that I rescued, it had fallen from it's nest and was on the ground where House Martins will not land so there was no help from it's parents, I took it to a rescue centre in the Gower, Wales.
Note, most fallen chicks should be left on the ground for the parents to look after but not House Martins, Swifts or Swallows as the parents cannot/will not land on the ground.

Wenn ich den Kopf freischaufeln muss, aber keine Lust auf Meditation hab, knipse ich #Mehlschwalben vorm Mond. Ist ja fast das Gleiche: Man fokussiert einen Reiz und alle anderen Gedanken sind weg. Einatmen, ausatmen. Schwalbe da, Schwalbe weg.
