It certainly could have been a beak. There's a nest full of wrens under the eaves (they all sleep together in a housemartin nest when it's cold), but on the wrong side of the house, and also the tapping was going on all night.
I still think it's a lonely Death Watch beetle.

Hm...Hinner uppenbarligen inte riktigt med att läsa alla viktiga diskussioner här.
Känns lite mer modest som beskrivning av Housemartin och mer korrekt om Torsson. Älskar Torsson ändå, blir min favorit Bakom Lasarettet nu.

I joined a wild bird care shift the day before yesterday.
There’s a House Martin with a broken leg, and watching it eat from my hand is incredibly sweet.

Good evening Barton on Sea!
Autumnal beer from Badger's Brewery 'Shadows Fall' is very good indeed.

...I have been painting (and scratchboarding) every single day...but my ability to remember to post on socials is almost non-existent.
These little birds bring such joy! So delicate and sweet and fleeting, with the most beautiful of voice!

Is it that time already? #ArtistFave15 Where did Sept. go? What to do, what to do? So many choices. Maybe in the spirit of Tumblin' Dice (premiering Oct. 2 at 8 AM MTN on
CJSR.com) I'll roll the dice and see which artist come up? CD Shelf 18 Disc 89. The Housemartins it is. Better get listening.

My Housemartins are still here, but the soundscape is turning autumnal. The Nuthatch is back to machine-gunning everything that moves, the Wrens are starting to use one of the Housemartin nests as a community roost. No autumn birds here as yet. Ignore the spurious Woodcock on the table.

The Housemartins are fantastic.
And if you’ve ever heard Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook), well, you’ve listened to a single Housemartin or 25% of The Housemartins.

Perched high on a branch, the house martin surveys the world — sea, sky, forest. A true sentinel of summer skies. #birdphotography #housemartin #swallow #wildlife #nature #Canon

At the fragile tip of a branch, the House Martin (Delichon urbicum) finds perfect balance – claws gripping, beak holding, wings adjusting. In the air, in community, in constant movement – this is the art of life in the sky.

House Martins, now hopefully safely back on route home. I saw them gather two weeks ago and they take about six weeks to get to central or southern Africa. 🪶 #HouseMartin #HuisZwaluw

The House Martins gathered en masse this morning, waiting for the sign to go and start their big journey home I think 😭. I’ve never seen them behave like this before here. 🪶 #housemartin #huiszwaluw
