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: Would not recommend. Massive flake about half way up feels loose and sounds hollow. Dogged passed it as I actually quite like my belayer. Rest of climbing is fun but until this is cleaned not worth the risk imo. Unless you don’t like your belayer and are ready to sacrifice them in which case have at it.

βeta: Pulled off a hold near the lower off, cleaned the scar and it's pretty much the same.
