The organisers of an initiative aimed at reversing a decline in numbers of house martins are asking members of the public to report the locations of nests.

The distinctive dark blue and white birds, which migrate from Africa each spring, are on the UK's Red List of endangered bird species.

The Hampshire House Martins Project will use the data gathered to help with conservation efforts, including providing artificial nest cups.
