Did you know
It has been observed that sand martins favour loess as a particular type of ground to nest in.
The nests are at the end of tunnels ranging from a few inches to three or four feet in length, bored in sand or gravel.
The actual nest is a litter of straw and feathers in a chamber at the end of the burrow; it soon becomes a hotbed of parasites.
