A NEW habitat has been built in North Yorkshire for one of Britain’s ‘small and agile’ birds.

Rewilding group Make It Wild has had a new Sand Martin habitat erected at Skipbridge, one of its key conservation sites.

Officials say the new construction supports the ‘small and agile bird found in Britain during the summer, and strengthens the resilience of the local ecosystem.’
