Success at Washington Wetland Centre as Sand Martin Chicks Hatch After Installation of Artificial Nesting Bank

Sand martin chicks have been successfully hatched at the Washington Wetland Centre after the installation of an artificial nesting bank, marking a significant milestone in wildlife conservation efforts. Visitors are encouraged to observe and monitor the sand martins around the new nesting site.

Sand martin chicks have been observed for the first time at the Washington Wetland Centre in Wearside. Typically, these birds return to the reserve each summer from Africa but had previously failed to establish nesting sites. In October 2023, an artificial nesting bank was installed, leading to this year’s successful hatching of chicks. Reserve manager John Gowland reported early positive signs, with nesting materials being brought into the artificial chambers. It is believed that as many as eight chicks have been spotted, with the potential for up to 70 by the end of the season. Assuming conditions are favorable, sand martins may produce two broods this year. Visitors are encouraged to help monitor the sand martins’ activity around the artificial bank.

A long-standing dispute involving 101 Stokes Croft, Bristol, concerning a 20-year-old planning permission for 19 residential units, appears unresolved. Town planner Andrew Beard argues that initial demolition work keeps the permission valid, while Bristol City Council suggests the planning permission may not still be valid due to administrative issues. A Lawful Development Certificate has been requested, with no determination date set.

Bristol City Council has been criticized for confusing signs related to the city’s Clean Air Zone (CAZ), particularly on the A4 Portway, impacting motorists heading to Bristol Airport. Adam Soble successfully appealed a CAZ fine, with the Traffic Penalty Tribunal ruling the signage inadequate. This judgement may lead to changes in how CAZ fines are administered and potentially reimbursed.
