User's notes

Seemed to be a colony over at least 3 trees. Adults were hunting insects and diving in and out of the nesting holes. Martins have been suggested.

That's very nice. Thanks. Only adults on view though they clearly were feeding chicks. Will have to visit in a week or two to see if I can snap fledglings.
