Hi Bob, Goldfinch numbers on my patch seem average, but still seeing small groups feeding and displaying, regarding House Martin I saw none on last weeks survey along the Irwell, never had a breeding record in Strongstry, but Edenfield is usually good but very few this year.

Regards Brian.

Hi Bob 

House martins have returned to Waterfoot. At least 6prs present

Never thought about goldfinches in trios before, but I seem to remember seeing a few groups of 3 earlier this year

cheers Kevin
