The migratory birds bred at Washington Wetland Centre for the first time in its history last summer after an artificial nesting bank was introduced in October 2023.

The centre said it was difficult to get an accurate number of successfully fledged sand martins due to their agility and speed, but it thought at least 60 to 100 young birds managed to leave the nests.

The team is now hoping for a second successful breeding season.
