So when the swallows are there - very interesting to look at ...
Otherwise just a sand hill with holes 😉

What an experience to watch these sand martins! It's wonderful how quickly they can fly and quickly disappear into their nest.

If you have already watched the sand martins in flight, you know what the sand hill is all about 😉😃. Otherwise, it's almost unimaginable that this place will be teeming with life when the residents are here again! What an experience!!! From around mid-April the sand martins return from their winter quarters to breed here and stay until around the end of August or beginning of September.
