‘Excavate river banks digging out a long tunnel for Sand Martin nest.’

Sand-brown back under wings contrasting white under parts. Distinctive dark chest bar white throat.

Agile fliers – Invertebrates taken on the wing feeding mainly over water.

Smallest with a quick jerky flight separate them from the House Martin and Swallow.

“European populations have crashed twice last 60 years.” (?)

Rasping chattering continuous twittering on the wing and conversational undertone after settling into their roost.

Harsh alarm call – Predators Falcons Hawks Crows Magpies, etc.

Need: Insects flies spiders caught in flight. Plant material feathers.

‘1900s’ – “Drought – Northern African wintering grounds have caused Sand Martin population decline!’’- BUT A QUESTION – IT IS ‘NOW’ – 2011…?

‘‘Creates medium concern for its conservation” – ! Amber List ‘Amber?’ UGH ‘TACTICS.‘ – Ever Again! Present Numbers ARE Unknown?

Alice Walker – “The Animals of the planet are in desperate peril – Without free animal life I believe we will lose the spiritual equivalent of oxygen.”

“Predation – ‘Killing’ is tragically a major problem for Songbirds in Britain. Throughout the world” –

Predators such as crows, magpies, falcons, sparrow-hawks, grey-squirrel infestation – All hawks cats jays herring-gulls red-kites owls woodpeckers rats fox; Etc.
‘The list seems endless from photographic proof.’

2011: Far too many countries ARE ‘STILL’ – ‘Catching Killing Eating’ – Our ‘own’ Garden Songbirds!

View: 80 Euros buys You Songbird ‘Snack!’ Restaurants 50Million Euros Year! Black Market Thrives – ‘Trappers Push Birds Closer to Extinction!’

SO WHO ARE – Our own and songbirds only hope? As it doesn’t pay anyone to keep ever increasing – ‘Predator Scavenger numbers down.’

“Forever their killing of all other species. That their own numbers desperately need to be culled.”
