Our most frequent visitors!



For more than thirty years housemartins have been returning to Millknock Farm for the summer months to raise their young. This year is no exception, with more of them returning than in previous years. This picture shows them building their third new nest. Add this to to the two nests that were left from last year, and there are now five families of housemartins nesting in the eaves of the farmhouse.
Be carefull where you walk around the house, they do make quite a mess!
