House Martin at its nest @ Ribblehead Station

Random finds today, when i didn't have my big lens, multiple house martin nests, grey wagtails, pond dippers, skylarks, kestrels, buzzards, always my luck

Took on my xt50 & fuji 50-140mm

Cool! I didn't know they made mud nests! I've only seen them use bird houses.

A very cool photo indeed. I had no clue they made mud nests.
