Sand Martin Breeding Wall at Hardy's Gate
In 2014, the River Irwell Habitat Creation Scheme was completed on part of the industrial and residential development on Dumers Lane. Part of that scheme involved the creation of this purpose-built breeding wall for sand martins, just below Hardy’s Gate Bridge.
Sand martins are summer visitors to the UK, they are one of the first spring migrants to appear, arriving mid-March to mid-April. Sand Martins are gregarious in the breeding season, nesting in colonies that may contain more than 100 pairs. They normally excavate tunnels in sandy, dry vertical banks in sandpits and gravel pits, railway cuttings, riverbanks and sea-cliffs, and exceptionally in drainpipes in walls, and holes in brickwork.

Sand Martins at the Breeding Wall
Sand martins are summer visitors to the UK, they are one of the first spring migrants to appear, arriving mid-March to mid-April. They are the smallest European hirundines (martins and swallows); they are remarkably fast and agile fliers.
Sand Martins are gregarious in the breeding season, nesting in colonies that may contain more than 100 pairs. They excavate tunnels in sandy, dry vertical banks in sandpits and gravel pits, railway cuttings, riverbanks and sea-cliffs, and exceptionally in drainpipes in walls, and holes in brickwork. Here, they are making use of the specially-constructed breeding wall at Hardy’s Gate (Image]).
