Endangered Yellow Wagtails are currently nesting on Butt Hole Scoundrels - Fr. 6b+ (Line 3 on SWCW). Please avoid climbing in the Scoundrels Cave area until the end of September, and keep an eye out for others until then. 

They migrate from Africa to the UK around March till September, so will hopefully be on their way by October.

βeta: In order to get to 2nd bolt I climbed up pinches on the left, rocked up then traversed decent hold on the lip. Actually works quite nicely. Hard moves for a 6c though.
