House Martins - Lahinch

So I was sat on the sea wall at Lahinch with my father and we were just trying to snap a House Martin in flight, a difficult game .

There were about 5- 7 birds collecting mud from time to time and flying back into the village obviously nest building.

But a few days later questions were being asked right through Great Britain and Ireland as to where our migrating birds are..numbers seem to be massively down, especially, Swifts, Swallows and Martins.

So dont take for granted our birdlife, as one day it may be gone
