I shall not be moved! Plucky seafront housemartin continues to incubate in just half-a-nest

 

Prospects look bleak for this housemartin on Kingsway in Cleethorpes. She is determinedly continuing to incubate in what remains of her nest which has been part destroyed by who knows what or whom? Even if the eggs hatch, a new threat looms   - next w/e's Cleethorpes Armed Forces Weekend will see extensive military aircraft activity, possibly including a flypast by the Red Arrows. When the event occurred  last year, the parents were so spooked by the noise that they deserted.                                     

The nest is under the eaves of the property on the right. Another prospective nest above the apartment on the left has already failed
