Did you know? Installing nest cups in your eaves could save your local House Martins around 10 days of nest building time when they return from their long spring migrations! Discover the science ➡️ bit.ly/HouseMartinStudy #Springwatch #Ornithology

But when the Bee-fly shows up, you make an exception.

These fuzzy little hoverers deserve their moment.
